re: Help With These

They are company and local authority overprints. The first for use by the London Borough of Leyton, the Machin for the Southern Gas Board, mostly used on customer receipts where they would be affixed to and signed across.
It was also a security measure to stop the pilfering of postage by employees.

re: Help With These

These are usually called "Commercial Overprints."

Unlike perfins, once they were overprinted they weren't valid for postage, except for a very short period of a few months after the relevant tax was abolished.

re: Help With These

While technically a form of revenues, they make an interesting
page of Wilding and later Machin usages. As such they are usually
offered at the basic price for common used postage stamps.
think they are interesting, and somewhere have a fairly complete
compilation of of known varieties.

Since I have no interest in them, if anyone wants them, PM me and the first person to do so can have them.
