The scans show very common stamps from Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand - what do you mean by 'dollis hill' stamps?

The reason why the stamps with the Queen's head are so similar is that it is the same Queen!

Dollis Hill is an area in London. It isn't a type of stamp as far as I know.

Youre right, theyre similar because is the same queen and prince haha, I didnt think about that

You can search on ebay or goole "dollis hill stamp" and you will find 1 brown and 1 violet of these.

Do yours have the special trial phosphor they applied to the stamps for the cancellation tests at the Dollis Hills Post Office? VERY few of the billions of stamps issued during this period have that trial phosphor.

You have a page of very common stamps, unless you can prove that they were used for those trials.

Dollis Hill seems to be a trial of phosphor bands. The stamps are called Wilding definitives, or just Wildings.

Thanks for the info. I'm not a GB collector except for Machins.
You'll find a UV light will be useful looking for these phosphor trials.
