These are fascinating overprints - I have never seen ones that have the printing across two stamps rather than one. However, I cannot find them listed among the occupation overprints at the end of Italy or Greece in Scott's and I am assuming that's where they belong.

Can anyone tell me where to look to find them?

Scotts N10, N11a, N14a, N4a, N7, N5a. I don't see a listing for the last one. The "a" listing is for orientation of OP.

Thank you! I had worked out the "Isole Jonie" overprint on Italian stamps but never in a hundred years would have connected this one to the Ionian Islands.

I think J is pronounced like I is some languages. Jugoslavia is pronounced Yugoslavia for example.
