As you probably may know, there are a great many varieties of the whole of the bronze issue of 1860.
I certainly don't have a reference to those varieties, and the excellent references that have been published are difficult to locate.
If my memory serves me correctly one was written by C.Wilson Peck, and I suspect that you would have to be lucky to buy an out of print copy of his work for a very big price. The best place to find the correct identification to your piece would to be to contact one of the main specialist London dealers.
This is the situation as I see it, and would help to explain why you have not had a definitve answer, including from me.
There would be a lot of people interested but very few or none in this case, have been able to provide the answer.
