The one on the left looks like either SG D129 issued from 1953 to 1959
or SG D140 issued from 1958-1960.
D129 has a watermark. D140 does not have a watermark.

Both varieties have two shades:
D129 has carmine/yellow green and carmine/deep green
D140 has carmine/deep green and deep carmine/deep green

Opinion:
(There is an SCF member here, specialising in dues)
This is my guess.

One Shilling ACSC (Aust. Comm. Specialists Cat)
Cat # D156 (Die 1) 1958
(Lighter shading, lines in SERIF positioned to left)

Cv $25 $15 $15 used (1999)

Delivered into stock 354,000
Replaced by Die ll June 1959

Pshann,

Always nice to see postage dues.

The stamp on the left is definitely SG D129 (watermarked) in the carmine and yellow-green shade. There are also deep yellow-green and deep green shades too.

The stamp on the right is SG D69 with a nice little flaw on the bottom left serif of the '1'.

John
