Spot the Difference if you Can #11

These three Greek stamps from 1927-1933 look very similar and are not too difficult to find at all. But many collectors and dealers do not take the time to correctly identify them, causing confusion in online sales listings. We believe you should always take the time to properly identify your stamps. Hidden gems may be lurking!. There are many stamps in this series that have minor variations, like the ones shown here.  The two stamp shown here are Sc# 365 & 366. But there is a third type, Sc# 328, shown below for comparison.
