ok, Im stumped. I have the below stamps and for the life of me I cant figure out the Scott 2019 formatting so I know whether these are part of Nos 118-126 or Nos 100-106/108-117... Stamps in question are A83, A84 and A85. Specifically, what is the difference between the 2 groups, "Same Overprinted On India Stamps of 1941-43" 1942-49 AND "India Stamps of 1941-43 Overprinted" 1949 ? Tks much!

The difference is in the typeface used in Gwalior. Yours are from the 100-117 set. The type is taller and thinner, note the tail on the R.
The typeface on the 118-126 is fatter and shorter, note the fat O.

Got it. Tks much. The ref to nos 162-167 was throwing me off and that they were just using that as an example of the typeface.
