1d De La Rue Pictorial with inverted 'Specimen.' overprint

I recently received this stamp (at top of group) with an inverted 'Specimen.' overprint.

It looks like a fake to me ...what do you think?

How do the dimensions compare with the real thing? The printing looks rather thin on ink - not the sort of thing that De la Rue would knowingly let out of the door.
