Hi All!
The stamp below has perf. 11x10.5 and design size 19.25mm x 22.8mm therefore according to Scott is a #632.
My question relates to the height of the stamp: can the rotary print elongate the design to such an extent, please? Somehow, I was under the impression that this particular design doesn't go beyond 22.5mm of height...
Thank you very much!

Yes, I think there are different sizes of rotary stamps, as I also made my own measurements here:
https://goscf.com/t/56370#493402

that thread didn't really find an end or a solution as there are no articles about different rotary sizes. but if you use the Micarelli Identification Guide you can see that there are different rotary sizes given, but there are some minor errors about this in that book. After all I didn't have time and stamps to make my own research about this, but I will some time in the future. so to answer your question: yes, it can be that the rotary stamp is very high and more that others.

but as a general hint I would not measure in mm but compare to other stamps.

Thank you very much, Stamperix!
I have two dozens of #632 and this one is by far the tallest :)
