After searching through some kiloware purchased in the 1990s I came across these particular 3 guilder stamps, and under normal circumstances would have missed what I now believe to be the same issue but printed using two different kind of inks.
To confirm my findings I decided to put them under a long wave ultraviolet lamp, and as suspected discovered there was a definite difference between the two.The top scan shows them in ordinary light, but the lower one under ultraviolet.
Not having a specialised catalogue or reference for this country I have decided to include them as "oddballs". If anyone can give further information on this variation then please do so.
Thank you, Paperchase
