I find two late printings of the 20p, the NOP unwatermarked opaque white paper, and this one. Here are two mint specimens with different stages of wear for the center that I compare here.
The watermark:
A few used ones.

Re: P&R I 20 Pesos Cotton
The 20p with coating - 1943 - has a not so obvious coating, at least when used, and the watermark is an orthogonal one with a symmetrical paper wire! Best compared with the 1943 July Revolution stamps!
The density is 30/16 - the 16 horizontal lines per cm should result in about 16x3.75 = 60! A quick rough count for this stamp comes to 61! All the other paper wires - except for the "Tela" - would give 20x3.75 = 75! Which is a lot more!

I recognized it from the back first! Not the front!
