salentin , I hope it is okay to add to this thread. Like you, I do not have all of the stamps of this time period and I noticed I tend to have the same ones you have, however, I would like to go through my collection and add to this thread if there are some that I see that I have that you don't. Below are some unused multiples that I bought while living in Korea that dovetail neatly into the time period you have reached.    
1. 1948, Sc. No. 93 Li Jun 2. 1949, Sc. No. 105 Tabo Pagoda, Kyongju 3. 1949, Sc. No. 104 South Gate, Seoul 4. 1949, Sc. No. 102 Diamond Mountains I also just realized I saw or visited all of these places, with the exception of the Diamond Mountains, on my family's recent trip to South Korea in July of 2018.

darkormex had shown earliar the following series in blocs of 4:
Unification of Korea,issued Nov.20th,1950. When in September 1950 South-Korean troops and later US troops entered North-Korea,after having defeated the North-Koreans in the south,President Rhee Syng-man saw his long time ambition to come true:the unification of Korea. However when China sent "volunteers" to "assist" the North Koreans the tide changed. Later the US,very much to the displeasure of Rhee,fearing an all out war with Russia, accepted a patt and a return to the pre-war borders.

The above series,issued April 1st,1951, was also issued rouletted. The rouletted stamps are valued about 20 % of the perforated ones.

From June till December 1951 various definitives were overprinted and revalued. This was due to an inflation,resulting from the on-going war. Listings of the major catalogues differ considerably.Michel seems to be the most detailed one, close to the listings of Korean catalogues. I cannot show all stamps,especially not the more pricier ones.
There are two 100 on 4 Won:
left stamp,issued June 5th,1951,surcharge by lithography.The zeros are of a slight rectangular shape.
right stamp,no date of issue is known,surcharge by typography.The zeros are of an oval shape.
lower stamp with inverted overprint,surcharge by lithography.

Very nice blocs ! Just for accuracy:the are usually listed as Sc.122a,123a,124a if unwatermarked. 200 W.looks like 183 (wmk.curved lines)
In my "ancient" catalogues the stamps are listed in pairs,valued for about $ 10.- ea. (5 & 20 Won),$ 20.- ea. (100 & 200 Won)

To re-clarify Scott 2018 , 122a etc is not imperfs but rouletted which is why I noted them as being blocks of 122 etc as no catalog numbers are noted  Michel South Korea 2016, they are slightly more than the amount noted above - Blocks of 4 retail between $125 - $175, blocks of 9 or 8 are $350 - $450 which is why they are scarce  |

I hope that the above extract from the KPC-cat.explains,what I meant. The KPC-Korean Postage Stamp Catalogue and the Korean Standard Stamp Catalogue list the imperforates as subnumbers of the rouletted set.Here the "a."-listings. But I agree there cannot be just one correct answer.

1951 overprints cotinued:
 300 on 14 Won blue,dark blue issued Dec.3rd,1951
300 on 14 Won light blue was also overprinted with the same overprint as the blue,dark blue stamp. Date of issue: unknown. I cannot show that stamp,what is by some margine the most expensive single stamp of South-Korea. Instead I show again the basic stamp,without overprint.

There is some confusion here on words
Just for accuracy:the are usually listed as Sc.122a,123a,124a if unwatermarked.
and later the statement
But I agree there cannot be just one correct answer.
I would say that there is only 1 answer
Scott Sc.122a,123a,124a is not listing for imperf blocks it is for rouletted, in fact there is no listing for imperfs
Your note that the KPC catalog explains it, is unclear
It lists pairs and
in section under 79 d & e given my rusty Korean, talks about a perfed block with imprint I see no mention of imperf blocks
and I know from Asian auctions that I have participate in
In my "ancient" catalogues the stamps are listed in pairs,valued for about $ 10.- ea. (5 & 20 Won),$ 20.- ea. (100 & 200 Won) Imperf blocks have no relation to above as they sell for hundreds of dollars

The plate damage "KORFA" appears also on the 500 on 150 Won airmal stamp. Here in a bloc with three normal it is the upper left stamp.
It is quite astonishing,that the price of the "KORFA" varietion is pretty moderate. A total of 65.000 stamps were overprinted. "KORFA" is found once in a sheet of 50. So just 1.300 can exist,compared to the 80.000 of the original stamp from 1949.
