The one on the right is a New Zealand Postal Fiscal.
"New Zealand" is in very small print at the base of the stamp.

Your yellow GB Machin was issued on 17th August 1993. I do not have Scott number. Printed by Enschede it should have two phosphor bands. You need to check because there is a less likely other possibility. (Harrison, Coil)

The stamp on the left is part of the long-running Machin series.

If you’re using the Scott catalogue as a reference tool, the Machin stamps have their own numbering system starting with the MH prefix. You’ll find these stamps listed after the “regular” Great Britain postal issues.

Anglobob........I think the postmark came before the National Trust booklet ! But I do not have the latter in my catalogue which is a bit odd.

If the 35p is gravure, it is Scott MH222 and litho (booklet) it is Scott MH223.
