Hence the 11.5 - 12 gauge being rounded up to 12 in SG. It's been this way since at least 1938. but bear in mind this 3d has HU... |

I don't know why someone would do that - but it's the best idea I've got.
Unquestionably a reperf, assuming the gauges have been read correctly.
It's line perfed and NOT a wing margin. |

You'll need a 1900 Stanley Gibbons Part 4 or a Brights ABC catalogue that were made annually before World War One. The latter will be much easier to get a hold of than the former.
