see the dots between all the 'T's' in the top stamp
Not looking at periods between the Ts. But the large circular red dot located as noted in the OP.

On the first stamp it is located top center and in the second stamp in the upper right margin.

They are both different overprints. I have the top one with and without the extra dots, and I have the bottom one without the dot. The dot on the bottom one is completely unimportant. When I shared that image with Parcelpostguy, I had not intended for him to post it. It was just a random image I came across when I looked for it on Google to see what it was. As you can see, it has a watermark over the image. The dots on the top stamp are what I am interested in knowing about.
Yes, I mentioned the second stamp image was a lift from the web (WWW). But as the margin dot is similar in size to the top center dot, I showed both. If one is picked up in a specialty catalog, both should be. So far the only answer to the red dots is the nail holding the plate (overprint mat) to a backing. That is a reasonable option but stall wanting is the answer as to if such dots are listed varieties.
