Pic from Earl Noss plates to pos. 2 of one of the 200 image 2nd Ottawa plates.
Given the closeness of the dates on the 1st and 3rd copies, it is very likely that this was a VERY short lived damage. The late dates can be accounted for by the 'last in - first out' policy of stamps being delivered to the post offices.

Note to WGB - add picture from EN.
