However not knowing how the Booklet Covers were printed I am unable to determine if this is a constant flaw within a printed sheet, or there were two separate printings. Has anyone got the answer, or can you advise me if you have any clipped “S” variety.

It also appears that the lower serif on the 'S' in 'STAMP'
in your first image is clipped as well,
in comparison to your second image.
And after looking further, I see other variations as well -
for example, the base of the first 'T' is different from the second 'T'...
It would seem these were just poorly/cheaply printed covers.

Musicman,
I go along with your comments, there are a few other variations on the first cover(see below).
However I guess what I am trying to establish -- is did both these come from one printed sheet of covers taking up various Rows and positions, or is the second cover a result of a repaired printing plate for a 2nd printing but also had some issues? There were 19,750 of these booklets issued.
Of all the covers I have or have seen, they are either one or the other, I have never seen a clipped "S" cover with any of the other varieties as shown on the top cover or vice versa.Does anyone know the printing method for these booklet covers?.

Some time back I was doing a study of PNG Stamp Booklets. Whilst checking my January 1970 booklets, this being Stanley Gibbons SB1, I noticed that the “S” in stamp was clipped on the bottom curve. On checking the rest of my stock I found two more similar. I was advised by various collectors of three others. Therefore I assumed this was a flaw.
