Not being able to see the back - I can not see if there is any ink there.  |

as you are searching for coil / sheet waste stamps, I would recommend creating a template (like indicated in another of your threads) and then compare, for example by making a scan of the template and the stamp(s) in question. then you could easily see if there is a size difference.
in this scan we can see a guide line, so flat. |

I do not think that this is a guide line but to stamps close together. I wish we could get a better picture or scan, at least a bit closer up

Here are more detailed images of the bottom. On the second image, I decreased brightness and increased contrast. The green line at the bottom of the pair is continuing outside of the design location, hence I believe is a guideline at the margin of the sheet. If it would have been the upper part of another two stamps then it would have been interrupted between the width of those stamps.   |

Stamperix, you're absolutely right - unfortunately, I don't have the templates available right now! |

No, it is not at the margin of a sheet. It is a line in the middle of the sheet. After printing the sheet is divided into four panes for easier handling. If you like to know more please read the introduction to the Scott specialized catalog where it is explained,

Petert4522, in my albums, the middle line on other stamps of the era is much thinner and the distance to the stamp is bigger. |

The flat plate Washington stamps shown were printed in 400 subject plates then cut into 4 panes of 100 stamps. The pair with the cut line shown are from the bottom row of either the top left or top right pane.  |

re: templates:
aug-stamps, the example you show has minimal postal history value as a piece with an incomplete postmark. I would recommend soaking it and using the right stamp, which has a straight edge, poor centering and a damaged upper right corner as fodder for making a flat plate template. |
