Thank you Vayolene .

Since I am going for eye surgery next week {I got kicked and punched too many times in my life in the head ,a tear has opened up in the back of my eye } . Can someone help me here ,those overprinted stamps don't look like the sample that was linked here . The center is thinner and the lettering looks thinner . Need your help .

Good eye, floortrader. Also, the linked example has serifs; the OP does not. (Now help me with my Latvia forgery question!)

The overprints are definitely different. Pure speculation on my part, but could it be that, as these were provisional issues, it was left to different postal officials in various major cities to create their own "P" overprints, so that there might have been some variation as a result? Sort of like the different trident overprints on Ukraine issues in 1918-20?

From my Hungary collection ------
this is why I am questioning this deep black color as being real for the time period .
