Nic, while these territorial counterstamps are not a collecting interest for me personally, I certainly recognize how they can be fascinating to study. I will give you a bit of unsolicited advice, not particularly relating to these two pieces, but just in general... BE CAREFUL. Nearly all of these series are scarce and as such, are frequent targets of forgery. You seem to be a rather observant collector, but just remember to do your due diligence and learn their features inside and out if you're going to collect them seriously...

Check out this thread... if you go back into his feedback, you should find a lot of those pieces still online. It would seem almost all are bogus.
