They are listed in the Scott Specialized Catalog of US Stamps under "Consular Service Fee Stamps" and would be either an RK27 (if perf. 10) valued at $42.50 or an RK34 (perf. 11) valued at $3.75.

For more information and explanation about their usage (which was discontinued in 1955), checkout this link:

As was stated above, multiples of consular fee stamps are not the norm. They range from somewhat uncommon (low values used to make up common rates, such as this pair did) to very scarce or even possibly unique usages(large multiples of $5 or $10 values used to make up singular rates).

In this case being perf 11 will it really matter since they are multiples on a document Smauggie?
