Both stamps are the same.
They are People's Republic of China, East China, Scott #5LQ27.

Are you sure it’s People’s Republic of China?
It says Republic of China on the stamps.

The original parcel post stamps without the overprint/surcharge are listed in Republic of China (Scott #Q1). The parcel post stamps with the overprint/surcharge are listed in East China, under the PRC listings in Scott.
What does the red overprint/surcharge say? (If you can read it. I'm curious.)

Ah, that makes sense!
The red overprint says:m, from top to bottom:
Parcel post stamp
East China Post
5000 yuan
The first character on the second line (read from right to left, somehow I can’t include this Chinese character in my reply) may mean different things to different people. Typically it means something Chinese or more precisely Han-Chinese.
