Denis, here are three examples from Plate 98. The Archer perforated stamps had Alphabet 1 letters; the officially-perforated stamps had Alphabet 2. I've noticed that the corner perfs on Archers can be slightly out of alignment, producing an odd-looking corner. In 1950, Alcock published the 2nd edn of Gardiner-Hill's booklet on the Archer plates which lists various varieties. Alcock produced a companion set of photographs of stamps with constant minor varieties; and in 1963 they produced a set of 40 photos of all the Archer group (Plates 92-101), but these photos are difficult to obtain.
