New Zealand 1936 5d multiple wmk – unlisted perf 13½x13

 

We have a block of the 5d Swordfish that appears to be an unlisted perforation gauge.

 

Stanley Gibbons list under SG584 in Part 1 2001 edition the following:

 

 

The block measures perf 13½x13, see illustrations

 

 

While there is a footnote after SG590 saying there are variations in these perfs within the sheet, none of these is consistent with a vertical perf of 13.   Is this something new or do the perfs just vary that much on this issue?  Maybe an NZ specialist will know the answer.
