I don't think there is any history to discuss. Someone with some talent carefully cut and pasted a red maple leaf over the blue stamp. Nice job, though.
If two different coloured plates were used (which were really not used), then there could be the possibility of inverted stamps too. Were not the 1898 Christmas map stamps (85, 86) the first bi-coloured Canadian postage stamps?
