Just curious: Is there any difference in the texture of the stamps? The second one is so much clearer than the first, it makes me think there was a different printing process altogether. Maybe engraved?
As an aside, I've never heard of ekirei associated with the commandeering of workers, just horses. The "eki" means "station", as in a stop where where the nobility could change horses.
