Similar types listed in Forbin 1909 Revenues Consular. These must be later than 1915 as Forbin lists the 2 peso as Blue and Black in 1909 Your Red 2 peso must have been produced later than 1915 (when Forbin listings finish)
Those Consular stamps were issued in 1917 and were printed by Perkins, Bacon & Co. Previously they were issued in 1907 and 1909 in others colors, printed by American Bank Note Co.
Thank you for those replies everyone, very useful. If you don't mind area 66, I'd be interested in what your specialist Chile book has to say when you get it, to confirm what jorgesurcl says.
The Chilean specialized catalogue brings detailed information about tax/fiscal stamps that it also had postal use. This use was authorized by the Government during certain years.
For example:
1880-81 during the war against Peru and Bolivia. 1891 during the civil war. For a few months between 1900-1901 and 1913-1915 when there was shortage of postal stamps.
