Can you give us a bit more information.
Are they Litho or Photo, do they have a centre phosphor band?
Likelihood is that they come from a booklet that was not perfed, ( they would normally be unperfed on 3 sides).
Possibly they are fakes or maybe trials or essays.
Edit, or as PeatedMike says, which would be a nice find.
According to the Deegam handbook, the imperforate pair are rare. They come from sheets, with a centre band and are photogravure.
Can not see and phosp bands the gum has slight greenish colour
Not easy to tell from the scan whether they are Photo or Litho. The top margin looks very large to be from a sheet, but can not rule that out.
I am puzzled as to how they were separated from the others in the sheet if they are only known in pairs, looks like the margins are machine cut rather than scissor cut.
It would appear that the printing is Gravure not clean edges to the numerals.
Well I have tried but can not find 1367a or 1467a in my SG Concise what am I missing ?

What year is your Concise, in my 2017 version they appear after the 1989 Christmas issue before the 1990 RSPCA issue. They are not within the Machin section, catalogue number 1467a.
Rich:
I have emailed you a screenshot of my 2020 SG Concise page showing 1467a.
Cheers!
The 1840 issues are NOT in the Machin section in the Concise (in the back) but in the regular section with other stamps. These do not have the Machin prefix (x,y, etc)
Thank you all for your advice very helpful
