I've seen several examples, and all have evenly lined up bars. I see that there is a broken "O" version listed as E9i, but are these uneven bars anything special? (A little overinking, but definitely shifted.)

Another ebay listing (171632331328) image shows an entirely different shift in the bars. Looks like whatever dies/plates that were used to make these overprints had bars that were hand-placed without much concern for accuracy.
