 Stumbled across these two French precancel stamps. Are these precancel faked? Thanks in advance for any feedback. Don

The 5c (green) does not look kosher to me.The lower portion of the'9' does not look right.Letters a bit thicker than in the genuine.The three 'S's' looks doubtful (insde space of the bottom curl is small).. |

No expert, but agree with perf12. Lettering on the green doesn't really match that of the orange. The latter appears regular and crisp. The former appears rather crude by comparison (e.g., the P, the S, the R, et al). Consider the example in the link that Peter provided: the same stamp but looking much neater, more professional, than Don's stamp. The orange, however, looks pretty good. Again, compare the example in Peter's link.
