From my limited knowledge, the only ones with a possibility are the last two you posted, on the far right. Reference jimjam's scan to see the horizontal lines to the left of the lyrebird to make sure. |

And the Green Mist retouch only occurs on the 1956, no watermark, printing. |

Thanks to all the members who have contributed to this post- it has given me the impetus to sort the lyrebird stamps in 'Grandpa's Stock Book', (approx. 100 stamps). I do not expect to discover a 'green mist' but I am sure it will help me to understand and appreciate the subtle differences.  |

Nie to find such an obvious flaw / fault.
Gets me excited when I see these.
Now, even with my old eyes, I can find interesting little varieties. |

al, you'll have to provide more information if you'd like someone to help identify the stamp. The stamp varies by perforation and, I think, watermark. |

If it has a watermark, then that confirms that it cannot be a green mist retouch. (The image confirms it, too, but the presence of a watermark cuts off any argument about what a viewer thinks he or she might be seeing.) |
