Has anyone seen any other examples of this rare early cinderella?

This Wilkinson Chemist, Hobart Town label is included in Prestige Philately's Auction #180,
Lot #11 (May 7th, 2013)

N.B. this is not the same label as that illustrated in the previous post but a much cruder production.
I have seen at least two other examples of the top Wilkinson label but not one of these.

Any thoughts? A forerunner perhaps?

Just my thoughts

The top typo is backed up by several others to give it some credibility, the lower litho is new to me also i can't see it being a forerunner and with Tasmania collected to death more would have survived, it appears to be printed in a singular format making it suspect, also not stop after TOWN, it does not look right.

Stamp News Australasia, "Cinderella Corner," April 1996 (p. 72) illustrates a Wilkinson label (with stop after TOWN) that was auctioned by Leski 18 December 1995. Rod Perry sold a copy (Lot 450) in his auction of 22 JUL 1999 that is crude like the second example (no stop after TOWN).
