There is an enormous variety in Australian kiss die cuts that is not or hardly described in the main catalogues over here, unless you can easily measure the difference using a perforation gauge.
Sometimes I got the impression that the kiss die cuts of the booklets of 10, booklet of 20, coils of 100 and hanging cards of 5 are all different.
Is this true??? Is this observation well known to Australian philatelists only?
Below, I show you some different kiss die cuts, apart form the obvious Pemara comb-perforation look-a-like.

Re: Australian "kiss die cuts" on modern peel and stick stam
The recent Australian kiss die cuts that are interrupted on the short sides of the stamps still have the "security" mark - a somewhat thicker 'tooth'. It may occurs on both sides either top or bottom. Even with the same stamp in different positions so we may have 2 [or even 4] IDC varieties!

Re: Australian "kiss die cuts" on modern peel and stick stam
Of this stamp there at least 3 variations [havent'got the booklets nor coils yet ]:
This one hasn't got any thick teeths!
This one has the thick tooth at the lower left side
And that one has got it at the upper right side
3 major variations I would say.
But there is another aspect. The first two have a slightly deeper indent than the third one, although I sometimes doubt whether it's just imagination!
