Just scanning a few items this morning and came across this very unusual penny red SG43 with two different plate numbers of the same stamp. It clearly looks like 110 on the left hand side and 119 right hand side. Not seen this before, tried searching for this on the internet but could not find anything. Does not look like a cut and shut (two combined stamps). Could be a rarity? What do you think? Graham

The plate number on the left looks like it could also be 119 to me Graham - there's a faint impression of a horizontal line in the middle. I think it's just rather faded I think.

I made an effort to scale, sharpen and highlight the bit I think I see:

The left 9 is very faint.
