They were Typographed, so not really any double transfers, but it does look like a damaged plate of some sort. Scott 190 -type 1 . Michel 229P from a flat plate press.
Neither catalog mentions this flaw, which is a little surprising. BUT most catalogs don't and can't list every flaw. It's likely there's a publication in German that describes it.
Burr lines are found on line-engraved stamps. When the burr engraves a line it can push up the adjoining surface. If the cliché was repaired by cutting away an area, it may have raised the surface adjoining it, creating a line that picks up ink. (With line-engraving, it would cause a small ridge, next to which ink is captured that can be transferred to the paper.
My best theory is that the plate was constructed from multiple clichés, and this particular cliché was not quite level, so that the right edge of the cliché made a faint impression on the paper.
Does the right side of the stamp seem to be more deeply impressed than the left side? You might be able to tell by stroking the stamp gently - with extremely clean fingers!
"still seeking information "---------"neither catalog mentions this "
Because this is a very common thing with printing press . It is where the printing press machine was STOPPED during a printing run . usually shows up on the last printed sheet . Not a flaw.
