Please help me identify ... no clue. I'm not sure this is even an overprint, or a cancel. Thanks in advance.

Not my area,but they look hopelessly dodgy to me.There was no inflation in the post 1988 period of the Soviet Union such as would necessitate stamps of 300/500 rouble denomination.

That kind of hyperinflation occurred under the Russian Federation in 1994-1997. Strange things happen to stamps when the postage rates go up every few weeks, but I am confident that the Federation would never have sanctioned use of old stocks of Soviet stamps without at the very least insisting that the letters SSSR be obliterated.
