Given that the only info in the "overprints" is a date I suspect these are revenue cancels.

I am not sure about revenue cancels.
Financial instruments ( such as cheques or receipts) were due a revenue charge of 2d which had to be affixed to each document ( if not pre-stamped or impressed ).
The provenance of a booklet pane of stamps for this purpose seems a little strange, and I suspect that this might be a manufactured item.
The "overprint" looks as though it is of the type used in conjunction with a cash register to validate a sales docket ( or a "John Bull" junior printing set ).
Do we have a context please?

Approvals
Does anyone know of an online catalog that lists Specimen stamps of Great Britain with their values? This has the word speciemn printed in red on each stamp. Tough to see I know. I find many specimen stamps online, but none for these definitives. Thanks for your help
