Stanley Gibbons describes the two dirrent printings, but does not separately list them. As an aid to help people identify their stamps correctly the SG note reads as follows:
Approximately 70% of the printing of this stamp was done on the photogravure section of a new recess and photogravure combination press, and the remaining 30% on a conventional Andreotti photogravure press. The marginal markings differ and the combination-press printings tend to be duller. The phosphor on the Andreotti printings is all over, on the combination-press it is a band. On the Adreotti printings the imprint giving the name of the painting and the artist is closer to the foot of the design.
