Have these British East Africa (KUT) stamps in my collection, received from a family friend many years ago. Both are SG EA 188, although one has a discolouration on it. Considering that the original collecto saw it fit to keep both stamps in his collection, is the discoloured one some kind of printing error, or is it likely to be just damage?

Damaged , got two stamps stuck when they were mint , you can create that by leaving the stamps too long in hot water .
