Yes, the design itself has the dominical tab at the bottom...I don't recall seeing a vertical pair or a sheet, and if I have seen one or the other, it didn't occur to me to separate them with the tab on top.
I probably have a couple hundred used dominicals with tabs, and none were separated with the tab on top. If I ran across one, I'd keep it.
Not really cdnum, I have, however watched clerks in busy post offices, and secretarys in offices, and if one doesn't collect stamps, it's just "rip 'em off, and lick 'em"
Just a random peculiarity, it may have been a horizontal strip of 2 that separated erroneously but I doubt it. Your example with the CDS at the top may suggest that do you think?
Actually what it is is just a case where the postal clerk erronously separated the stamp from the sheet. With the tabs being so small, this was not hard to do.
I too have a few examples in my Belgian collection.
