There are several different one line in the centre Brisbane datestamps. To assist in distinguishing them see my page HERE
Brisbane Datestamp type 25 at left and type 27 at right. Type 25 is 28.5 mm in diameter and type 27 is type 25 mm in diameter and this is the easiest way to tell them apart. They can also be told apart by type 25 not having a dash in time (eg) 530p and type 27 having one (eg 6 -15p)
