the upper left corner, the US IN looks odd and above it on the outer frame.  |

My initial thought was rust on the plate, but that does not account for the gap in leg of the u. Plate damage it is. |

Plate damage or inking anomaly IMO.
That said, there are a zillion and seven DTs on R15, R5, R6, and R13 that go far beyond what is listed in Scott. |

I have a double transfer on the USIR in that upper left corner, but it looks very different from this stamp. |

As is the image below it. Also, as you can see from the images, even though not explicitly listed in Scott, many of these double transfers can be found on R15d, the silk paper. |

Very interesting material.
I enjoy seeing material still mounted on old album pages like that. At some point, you may have to consider removing for conservation, but its nice to see. |

No surprise about the silk papers, this was a real workhorse stamp and probably almost the exclusive orange stamp issued for the last few years before the Second Issue came out. |
