The postmark is wrong for an overprinted stamp, too, is it not?
It's correct for the period, I believe. British and French authorities used abandoned German cancelling devices for about a couple of years before new ones were made in British and French colonial styles. German colonies references (Friedemann for one) give only the last date of use by German postal authorities (Anecho's last listed as August 6, 1914 with the office noted as being lost the same day), not the entire lifetime of the devices.
