    I believe these to be Plate Proofs. The printer of this stamp issue Fournier S.A sold its philatelic archives of stamp artwork and proofs in 2007 through the German stamp dealer and auction house Gärtner. I purchased this material from Auktionshaus Gärtner. Follow this link for a 10 page article on the Fournier Archive and modern stamp printing
