“the vertical line of the right box…had been retouched”
Matte shows:
1 retouching of both the lower right frame which is extended and
2 the vertical line of the right numeral box on a stamp
3 with a straight edge at the bottom.
Comments
The straight edge at the bottom would seem to confirm this position.
