At a quick glance these appear to be two different stamps as it appears that they are two different perforations.

OK, my 2 cents worth.
There are 4+ stamps as shown. Scott number 414 perf 12 S/L wm, 431,perf 10 S/L wm, 470, perf 10 unwatermarked and 508 perf 11, unwatermarked. The 508 also has a 508c perf 10 at top or bottom. (Cat value $15,000). Colors, the first 2 are olive green (pale), the 3rd one is Olive green (dark) and the 508 is Olive bister, Dark olive green.
If the stamp on the left is unwatermarked and perf 11, I would say it is probably Scott #508 Cat value used 65 cents.
However, be aware that I am not the best when it comes to colors, so someone with more smarts than me may have a different answer.

I have all 4 stamps mentioned (not 508c though) and different colors are definitely present. I really suck at colors, perfs, watermarks, etc. That was my late wife's specialty. I'm afraid to take them out of the album and put them next to each other, what if I sneeze??? Older US stamps are noted for color varieties, it used to drive us up the wall - especially the many different "reds".

I agree that the left stamp is most definitely olive bistre.
