Thank you very much. After going over big blue, stamp collecting world (SCW), stampworld, Scott general, and SG general, I see that there were 3 major issuing dates: 1862, 1867, 1881. SG 2014 only mentions the first one, so doesn't help here; SCW doesn't show any visible difference in the letters and numbers; In stampworld slightly, and in big blue more notably, there's a difference between the first set and the other two. Can it be that the right-hand stamp is Scott 41? As for the left-hand stamp, the above-mentioned sites don't seem to show a difference between Scott 52 and 60.
BTW, what color is "bister"? Scott used that term.
