Hello, the old Russia stamps have many different overprints. Can anyone help. 1. 3 Kop. (Michel 47x - 1889) Front: A striking "2". I mean it's part of the stamp. What do you think?  Back: Handwritten - "43x" x - for horizontally striped (obviously) 43 - ("matching" old Michel numbering - found in 1955 catalogue)  |

2. 7 Kop. (Michel 25x - 1875) Front: "Д Е К" - overprint differs from the rest of the cancellation Color and resolution are different I couldn't find anything in my catalogue.  Back: Signature "(HR)" - examiner's mark? Handwritten - "25(?)x" x - for horizontally striped (obviously) 25 - Michel numbering (difficult to read)  |

What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet

Noone is an overprint, they're part of the cancel
The first, the number 2 is the serial number of the cancel/the identification of the post office (i guess 2 Самара). It's weird because it's in a different orientation respect to the name of the town, but not an overprint
The second, Дек = Декабрь december... Warsaw, 11 december 1883. In this case it's very hard to think to something outside the cancel

I think you're right.
