I think I have Peru's Scott #120 and #121 in these stamps but I am puzzled by the fact that one stamp seems larger than the other. Is this a variety, or do I just chalk it up to the poor printing and perforation process of the period?

It appears that the design is the same size. The stamp on the right has a larger right and top margin. Often the perforations on the margins are set outward. I would think that this could be the upper right stamp in the sheet.

UR stamp in a sheet. I never thought of that! That may very well explain the seemingly same design on a different size stamp.

Thanks!
