I'm hoping someone can help me with the two stamps on the top row of the scan. PSS Catalog only list one Town and Type for Ridgeway, SC #724. But I came across these. The font is different, and it really looks like a precancel and not a post cancel. The sloping down of "way" is even the same on both stamps. Any clues?

The cancels at top were once listed but have been de-listed - I am not sure why, but they are probably proved to be post cancels.
From the Cummings reference:
The single subject Old Type 2 has a comma after the city and wider letters than the 724.
Known on:
Prexys: 1, 4½, 5, 8, 13, 14, 15, 19, 30
Libertys: 8
