This looks like a 518b to me (deep brown), not violet brown as in 518. Any opinions?

Please forgive me for hijacking your thread,
but a subsidiary question, if I may.

I have completed US 1932-1960 Pages
About to Tackle the "Washington-Franklins"
Would members take a look at this file, and suggest if this ID is OK to use currently for Scott please?

"Stamps of the US....H.E.Harris" booklet

Or are there any other ID QUIK GUIDE sources anywhere, for newbies?
