Triple perforations on Pictorials

Double perforations on Tasmanian stamps are well-known and documented from the first perforations on the Chalons through the pictorial issues. I have, however, never seen any triple perforations. The example below is not complete but does appears to be evidence of a triple perforation on a 2d typographed issue. The stamp is from the bottom row (Plate 2, Position 57) and shows a portion of the marginal cross at the lower right. Does anyone have a copy of triple perforations on pictorials??

Jerry,
By coincidence I was discussing only yesterday with Ross@TSA the triple perf. on a 2d electrotyped I had found when sorting out my Pictorials. So here is the scan on example dated 4 May 1909.

I also found this variation on the theme with double perfs. both sides on a 2d litho dated 5 January 1903.
Four rows of perforations on the one stamp in both instances!

Thanks Malcolm. Nice stamps! Looks like a new entry for the Brusden-White catalogue is in order.
