These specimens, described using Marcus Smith type designations, were probably produced for the De La Rue corporate collection. 

The one penny is also reported with overprint in red and green but these have not been confirmed. In addition to the type shown below, both values exist with type D6 "cancelled" overprints and the 6d exists with type D7.
