    Can anyone point me in the right direction on these scans.

    The first scan of 4 stamps are all QV overprinted 'Postal Service'.

    The second scan of one stamp is again QV with an 'M' cancellation. The stamp is overprinted 'ON L F S'.

    The third scan are of 'government stamps'. Anyone know what they were used for?

    Any clues and help is appreciated.

    The yellow 2 rupees stamp (actually half a stamp) is the top, retained, half of a telegraph stamp which went on the senders receipt, the other half of the form and stamp being retained by the Telegraph Office, hence the imperf. bottom 'margin'
