There is an excellent website cataloging the modern Fiji provisional overprints:

Thank you for posting this link. I find these overprints very fascinating. I see at least one variety pictured that I did not know existed. Can you tell what the difference is between the last two 20c xxx on 31c? Is the 20 slightly smaller on the last one?

Most observant and correct eyeonwall, the first has a 3mm high "20", while the latter (and most common) has the 2.75mm high "20".

This Fiji Overprint series provides an amazing opportunity to engage in an area of philatelic study involving recent issues which still retains the fundamentals of collecting - many values, a varied array of printing issues, some common so all levels of collector will be able to build a nice sample of the series but also a few scarce and elusive items to provide for a fantastic study and exhibition candidate.

Always love hearing from other avid Fiji Overprint collectors, please add to this post if you've got something you've come across and would love to share.

Kind regards
Matt Green

P.S. Thanks for the plug BeeSee
