What was always a big mess in the catalogue was the mentioning of different sizes without telling whether the sizes refer to the design [the printed part] or the stamp itself [within the borders of the perforation].
A good example of that mess is the 1p Girasol in brown. The old edition mentions a size that refers to the overall size of the stamp. But how do we know??? The new Goebel rotary (reel-fed) photogravure press was the reason for similar changes of sizes of several definitives!
But when you have a good look at both versions - the shorter one and the longer one, you will see that the latter one has a much shorter size of design! Even though the stamp itself is longer!!
