"LHS 001 Lei RHS 2 Lei"
I think on the LHS, that is DOI meaning 2 (having seen the other 2 in the set).

Rod is that last image one or two stamps? It seems most odd.

Excellent! Thanks 22c, makes perfect sense.

Rohumpy, purely a guess, Romania was very prone to issuing revenues
that involved 2 part stamps, printed as you see, but usually perforated down the middle,
or horizontally.
This one looks to me to be similar, perhaps separated by scissors.
We need a Romanian speaker to translate "Chitante"

Until one knows the usage to which these were put to, is difficult to assess
their format.
Firstly we have to establish the accounting value of the stamp is 2 Lei or 4 Lei?

For the country's air defense, for the development of air lines and for the general flourish of Romanian aviation, through the Law of the 4th of April 1931 the National Aviation Fund was created. This fund was initially realized through the issue of a mobile revenue stamp, issued by the Ministry of Finance and which, starting with the 1st of May 1931, was applied as follows:
50 bani on postcards and prints, besides periodicals;
1 leu on letters, illustrated post cards and, in general, on all petitions addressed to the state public authorities;
2 lei for telegrams, packages and acts provisioned by the stamp and registration law.
The absence of this stamp had the consequence of the absence of the revenue stamp or the taxation.
The National Aviation Fund Stamp circulated between the 1st of May 1931 and the 1st of April 1942.

So perhaps if the stamp was 2 lei, one could "bisect" it
if a tax of 1 Lei was applicable, otherwise used in its entirety.

Using the translator
"chitante" translate to "receipts"

Thanks timbres667!

I searched the Oxford, the name is closely aligned with a noun
we often used in the Navy....CHIT

Chit
A short official note, memorandum, or voucher, typically recording a sum owed.


Also... for the budding Scrabbler...
Chit
An immature or disrespectful young woman.

Page 10 had some discussion of the Danube Steamship stamps (Donau/D.D.S.G.). Here is an example of the green 10 for comment:

The DDSG stamps were printed by lithography at the " Buch-und Kunstdruckerei,H. Engel und Sohn " in Vienna. Several printing stones and two dies were used during their period of currency from April 15th 1866 to 1880. There were many printings.

For 10 kreuzer green stamps printing was used Die II.
Each Die I and II can be traced by their own essential features .

Also there are 4 Reprints ( including one 10 kruezer green) and 3 Forgeries of DDSG stamps.

For those interested in DDSG History and DDSG Postal History there are the following reference books :
