"New Zealand" is in very small print at the base of the stamp.
Your yellow GB Machin was issued on 17th August 1993. I do not have Scott number. Printed by Enschede it should have two phosphor bands. You need to check because there is a less likely other possibility. (Harrison, Coil)
The stamp on the left is part of the long-running Machin series.
If you’re using the Scott catalogue as a reference tool, the Machin stamps have their own numbering system starting with the MH prefix. You’ll find these stamps listed after the “regular” Great Britain postal issues.
If this is a litho printing,it could be from National Trust prestige booklet,printed by Questa.Gibbons Y1778

Londonbus1....you are right.I couldnt make out the year,maybe 1994 ?
Prestige book was out in 1995.
If the 35p is gravure, it is Scott MH222 and litho (booklet) it is Scott MH223.
Cannot locate in Scott following two stamps:
Thanks!
