I see what you mean, even the design of the 5 looks different, but look at the end of the 5 at left, it looks more round on mine, isn't it? Could it even be none of these two? I don't know, that's a subject I would let experts study instead.
I think your stamp is definitely Scott 11 or 18 It has earlier cancel It does not appear to be from cleaned plate or on inferior paper
All these rules are generalizations . I have early Greek stamps with late cancels. Makes no sense but there are exceptions. It's messy area of philately for sure

But I like that. I'll let the experts confirm between 11 and 18.
