Seems like a SC #139, but the color is all wrong. The left stamp is what I have several copies of, the center is the odd green 139. The right hand stamp is a 140, in it's normal color. I wonder if a sheet of 139 got printed in the wrong color? Any ideas where I can find more about this?
COB, I assume is the standard for Belgian philately: both Belgium and all colonies. It has a lot of minutiae on types and issues. I have 2003 hardcopy, and yes it is not Scott or Stanley Gibbons numbering system. The catalog is in french and although the forward indicates close collaboration with Yvert & Tellier I cannot verify if it uses Y&T numbering system or something else. There are innumerable specialty identifications which put it on par of a Scott US specialty catalog.
If you have a Y&T for Belgium I could check a few issues to verify if it is the same numbering system.
