The Scott specialized catalogue distinguishes 2 issues of the 1861-1862 24ct stamp: Scott 70 and Scott 78. I have two stamps of different colour, but I am not sure which one belongs to which issue. My guess: the left one Sc 70a brown lilac, and the right one Sc 78a grayish lilac. Am I right? Your feedback will be appreciated!

Based on your scan, I think you are correct on the left stamp as a Scott 70a, Brown Lilac. The second is probably a Scott 78b, though it may be a Scott 78a grayish lilac. The right stamp is certainly part of the 78 series and the left stamp appears to be part of the 70 series.
