There is a three line date, with a code letter above, in the middle line is the month in two letters followed by the day, and on the bottom line is the year in two figures. The obliterator consists of 'QL' surrounded by an oval of 32 unbroken rays

QL Duplex type 2 - This is type 1 with the date stamp portion recut. There are now two small solid squares on each side instead of arcs and the year digits are much smaller. However the code letter and the month and day remain the same, as does the obliterator.

The code letter and the month and day remain the same, but the line in the 'Q' of 'QL' now no longer extends into the the 'Q'. However there are still 32 unbroken rays
