WOW @Get Marwood & I, that was a really enjoyable read!  Your why-they-exist discussion is very persuasive (and slots them into Type 1A in my mind); and in turn I find it fascinating that they still printed them with 15¢ instead of just going with 6p given the target market!  I've got to say though, the part I found the most fascinating about these variants is those missing wraps and hence the missing 'full indicia' -- and that 'replacement one-liner' that exists print-run-wide on the bottom of the subsequent page.  Just so unique and interesting, never seen anything like it, and I found myself grinning ear to ear while reading you present it all.  BRAVO!
