Hi to all
It would seem that the person who owned the hoard of stamps was interested in flyspecking and varieties.
This I would say is a transfer from the stamp ink not being dry and other stamps placed on top. I wonder how many more there are.
The black dot is just some residue paper I did not notice when scanning.
Regards
Horamakhet

From the look and position of the green, I think it's more likely another 5d Airmail was stuck to the back of this one, and left some skin behind when it was removed.

A proper offset, or set-off, should have left a more complete impression, and more or less in alignment with the printed design on the front.

Hi tonymacq
I did not think of that, but that is probably what happened.
