Two stamps, SG 49 and SG 49a, each with a numeral cancel in a single-line rectangular box inside a barred oval. One numeral cancel is 528; the other is 546.

Does anyone know the towns to which those numerals refer?

My list says that 528 is Cyphergat and 546 is Peddie.

When websites and online resources started disappearing here and there, I learned my lesson and started saving everything, whether as text files, images, screenshots or pdf files. I didn't always do a great job of including the original source. I can take a look and see if I can find it. It is, or was, online.

I am aware of two sources for numeric lists of Cape BONCs (Barred Oval Numeral Cancellers):
