The two labels are printed in inverted relationship to each other, forming a clear tete-beche variety, a very rare misalignment form in postage meter impressions. Such inverted pairings likely resulted from irregular operation of the franking machine or abnormal feeding of the paper tape, and are seldom encountered in actual postal use. According to records, only one example has been recorded, making it unique. This item not only demonstrates a remarkable production anomaly in postage meter printing, but also represents an important artifact for the study of franking machine operation and post-war postal practices, with significant postal history and exhibition value.
