Generally I have used LN as my primary source of the printing size, but for official stamps no. 10 and 13 the printing size must be bigger. This belief is based on how common they after all are. It can also be seen on their actual auction prices. Both stamps has even been sold in whole sheets lately.

It is also my belief, that official no. 13B is overprinted in more than 200.000 copies. This is based on how relatively scarce no. 6B actually is.
