These printings are from the 1950s, and there are at least three major groups, all easily separated by the changes to BOTH colors. This stamp has several easy-to-spot plate varieties. Here is a page:

There is a plate variety that is almost impossible to spot:

It has a long horizontal scratch to the central design.
Note that the line ends at the denomination box.
This following variety has a long scratch across the palm.
There are other minor scratches to the late issues plate.

Looks like there is only one of these in the plate, and because it shares a scratch upper rite with a more common variety of the same era, it is possible that this is a very late state of the plate. The watermark looks like the 1L3, with square RA.
It has the following flaws
Period upper left edge
Small scratch below 'REPUBLICA'
The scratch it shares with a more common plate variety
And another scratch, this one in the background...truly a great plate variety

As to the different plates for the 5p:
- 1st plate - with all the clouds of bluish dots
- 2nd plate - somewhat larger design - for the no watermarks -
- 3rd plate - smaller just like the 1st plate - with all the scratches!

Rein,
I am not convinced yet that most if not all 5p have the background plate on top. If you look at the specimen I have shown, it is completely different to the other specimens we have.
About the plates, there is a variety I have shown that can be used to verify your statement.
This is what I meet with this plate variety:
From the first paper on - and it is quite comnon among the few I have - I guess it is one of the root block varieties. I do not see it among the 2C stamps nor on the after 1949 stamps,so we may as well have 2 plates.
Here they are:
1E1
1E4
On cover in 1943.
No watermark, dated 1947, NGR.
No watermark, opaque, NOP, dated 1949?
saludos
Tony
Tony,
this variety belongs to the first green plate; for the blue colour there are at least 3 plates been used. The 1Lx papers do not have it! There is no Zárate!

más de cerca para que se vea el corte
Alejandra,
your broken frame under Turismo had been mentioned by Tony already and is one of the 10 base block characteristics! Not just the broken frame but also the horizontal blue line! It belongs to the second [or third] plate of about 1951.

The last printings of the 5p - orthogonal watermark, asymmetrical paper mesh and a horizontal direction of paper, have the 2nd [or 3rd] - slightly decreased - plate for the blue colour with a lot of scratches and ruptures.
The third of them belonging to the base block of 5x2 - characteristic C:

The 5p2C with 5pNOP colors
This is the first time I notice this stamp, and I doubt I have a second example....although I will look further. The colors are those of the NOP, but the paper is 2C, and luckily, the postmark matches 1949, a year consistent with normal use for the 5p2C.
Here is a reference specimen for the 5pNOP. The colors are the same, but the paper is different.
