...actually those overprints are locally know as "London issue", as they are made for gov't in Exile only.
Main set is from 1943 year, no overprint, Michel catalog number 445/450 and option exist also in m/s format under
Michel number Block 2. All the overprints are made, but never used, and it is overprinted with AirPlane, in Black and in Gold.
My personal experience are very "strange", because for around 35 year, as part-time stamp dealer, I saw just
once, this set in used condition, and it is just CTO, so, one really fascinating issue and printing that can just
improve any serious collection of Yugoslavia!
I personally have this country filed as Jugoslavia in my collection.
