The UL inscription block is on DF1/DF1 paper and shows a white dot on the "C" of "Canada" (position 1), as well as what can best be described as bullet holes in the neck and head of the bison, on both positions 6 and 7. An upper sheet margin pair from one of positions 1 through 5, on DF2/DF2 paper shows a purple spot on the top bison. A LL marginal pair shows a white dot in the C of Canada at position 46. This pair is on DF2/DF2 paper. An UL inscription pair on DF2/DF2 paper shows icicles on the fur of both bison (pos. 1 &2). Finally, a LL inscription pair on DF1/DF1 paper shows a dot on the "a" of "Canada".This is position 50. Most, if not all of these varietoes are at least semi-constant, or tertiary.
