Although I have recently uploaded these varieties as well as the other two, a vertical 1942 Emu 5½d with significant dry inking showing on both clouds and a very rare single used stamp with a misplaced perforation 8-9mm to the centre of the design, it is unique as no other has been recorded.
As I have been asked numerous times about where the roller is situated I have put together a display showing the roller flaw and the retouch enlarged by microscopic imaging.
Two of four stamps I purchased just recently. A rare 1951 £2 Coat-of-Arms with a significant roller flaw retouch and a 1940 A.I.F.3d showing a scarce horizontal line joining rifle to soldier’s leg.

The retouch to the roller flaw was first noted early in 1953. The roller flaw was a master plate variety and occurred on both electros. Since the roller flaw and retouches can each be found on imprint and no imprint sheets, it is apparent that the retouches were made on one electro only, probably prior to the second printing in December 1951.
The 3d blue vertical pair shows the upper stamp with a horizontal line joining rifle to soldier’s leg but in different sheet position.
