This error is caused by the overprint on the left pane of the 200-suject plate being shifted to the right, thereby leaving the left vertical row of that same left pane with no overprint (Scott #56d, CASG #56c.II). Since there are only 20 of this latter error recorded, and 30 of the double "ZONE" error, it is likely that authorities discovered the third pane and either destroyed it or removed the ten unoverprinted stamps.
