I have found the following picture of both TD9 and TD10 together.
At first comparison, it appears that the TD10 (12) perfs are of a very slightly lower gauge than the TD9 (12) perfs.

These may have been used to test the perforators.
Such as 1878 when the ABNC started printing U.S. stamps and George C. Howard perforators started to be used by them (TD9?).
Such as 1907 when the BEP started switching over perforators from George C. Howard to the Universal Telegraphic Company (TD10?).
There is a Canadian Admiral blank stamp which appears to be from 1912 which may appear to mark a point when the ABNC started to change over from George C. Howard perforators to their own ones.
