Can anyone help ID these two? The one on the left, I'm guessing from the portrait is late-1940s.

The one on the right has the word "Postage" overprinted.

Can't see them in my catalogue.

The one on the left (King Faisal II) can be found in SG under Obligatory Tax, T330. The overprint says Save Palestine.

The stamp on the right is from Jordan. Without any overprints it started life as SG T305 (under Obligatory Tax).

The one on the right was with overprints - 'postage' both in Arabic and English - reissued in 1953 for postal use. And I guess thus ended its life

The Jordanian stamp with overprints is SG 411.
