Australian personalised stamps

[Rein]

The first Australian stamps having got a personalized tab to the stamps was issued in 1999. At a certain point in time the included tab got introduced. Tke kiss-diecuts for these stamps are completely different.

I would like to find out how different and so far it was pretty difficult to find material and it still is!

Another aspect to the personalized stamps is the fact that the digital printer - Fuii Xerox Docucolor - is printing a pattern of yellow dots on the stamps making it possible to trace the very machine [digital printer] and the time and date of that printing!

Any additional info is most welcome and of course if someone has a surplus of those stamps....
