Hi Haymik,
Yes, the Huonville Type 1 datestamp was manufactured with the town name inverted to 'Tasmania' as did the Blythe and Castra Upper Type 1 cds (all for reasons unknown)
There was one date stamp issue with the town name truly reversed and that was the Type 5 NYLLAVERT used at the TREVALLYN post office between 1937 and 1968.
