Thanks for your help so far.

In looking at the catalog, I find the progression of numbers and dates as follows:
1. Original stamp: 1910, A40, #314
2. Villa monogram added 1915 and is now identified as #459, A40
3. #459 is overprinted with "Barril" and listed as #586, A40, 25c on 5c (G)

I do not see a stamp type A40 listed with both the "barril" and the Villa monogram that has a 20c value.

Must look farther in the catalogue Scott._ No. 586 ? overprint on no.459
The 20 & 25 exist but no reference in Scott for the 20 Barril ovpt. &
Villa monogram ovpt. on the same stamp....?
Scott mentions forgeries abound of the monogram ovpt.

It could well be a variety not catalogued by Scott.
After all ;Scott does not list everything.Specialist needed...

Follansbee book on revolutionary issues considers only Barril 25 cents over Villa monogram on 5 cents 1910, and the Barril colour would be green.

The Barril would be over the Villa monogram. In the photo, we can see a black 20 cents Barril. However, it looks like the Villa monogram is over the Barril, this would indicate that the Villa overprint is a forgery.
