A web search reveals that they were protest stamps, unsure of year.

From the blurb on that page,
These stamps were affixed mailings along with standard postage to protest alleged political injustices inflicted by the government. Zapata is still invoked today as the patron of the indigenous people and farmers fighting against perceived injustice and for agrarian reform.
Full sheet of twenty five (25) imperforate stamps. Interesting and neat historical item. Seldom seen and, as such, a rare item - good opportunity.
Hi Sheepshanks,
Thank you for your swift reply. I had searched on google but could not find anything.
I have a sheet of 6 and another sheet of 9.
Just so interesting what can be found from the members on this forum, great.
Cheers,
John
