I Need Help Id'ing A France/Reunion Stamp

I cannot find a Scott Cat. No. for this stamp which appears to be France Scott #55 with a Reunion surcharge/overprint. Any help would be appreciated.

Second attempt at this. Is this manufactured by surcharging an already cancelled stamp?

SG 5 should be 5c / 10c imperf.

This doesn't look right to me, either the shape of the surcharge or that it's on a stamp with an 1895 postmark.

Nigel - yes, sorry, brain not in gear!

No problem - easily done.

Looks like a fake overprint to me . The "R" looks poor .

Notice the better quality of the overprint especially the "R"

Nice stamp floortrader.

Yes, the surcharge is much neater.

It's also one of the appropriate stamps and has an 1886 postmark.

I agree that floortrader's "R" is much neater, but when I look at the "5c. R" Reunion overprints on HipStamp, Stamps2Go and ebay, I see that mine is pretty much in the middle, neatness-wise.

Compare with this:

Each is signed Brun, a well-known expert. Compare the upright part of the "5", the shading of the bottom curve of the "5" and of course the shape of the "R".

Also see all the 5c surcharges here:

Same typeface as the block above for all.

Unfortunately, close examination of the 5c on 10c here seems to show the overprint was drawn in outline and filled in. The genuine have printed surcharges. Sorry.

An 1895 cancel doesn't make sense for this. No chance to drag out a 10 year old stamp from an issue that was probably sold out by the time the diagonal overprints were made in 1891. This could be a French cancel, meaning probably not legitimate usage unless maybe from a port city. It's still unclear whether it is over or under the overprint, but the surcharge is all wrong regardless
