KGVI CANCELLED postmark

The following query comes via Tim Burgess via Tony Walker:
I recently acqured some GB covers and there is one where I have something I could not ascertain.
The envelope is addressed to Buenos Aires, Argentina. It carries 2 2 pennies KG VI stamps. It has no date stamp but postmark that reads "CANCELL". In the back there is no arrival cancel from Argentina, so we do not know if the cover was actually sent there. The close up of th stamps and the CANCELL PMK i under the next of the message. The scan of the entire envelope is attached to this message.
I tried looking in some of the catalogs and handbooks but coulod not find anything.
Do you have any idea of what does the CANCELL over the stamps mean? Was it used by the Royal Mail or is it a private mark?
Your help would be greatly appreciated
Best regards, Enrique Setaro
