Correct: the same issue group and the same serial number within the issue group, and the code thinks they are two varieties of the same stamp, even if they are two completely different stamps.

So, an input error.

Esquerdo You have now removed the mention of 2 versions, but there definitely are still 2 versions, right? #1652967 and #2380639 .

Correct. The versioning system only works if the stamps are in the same Issue group. In this case, they are still in the original Issue (one starts with 1958 and the other with 1959).
Adjustments may only be made in consultation with the area manager and must then be applied consistently to the entire area.

blauwhuis I didn't do anything at all. I saw why it happened but I don't have the data to correct it.

 #1652967 and #2380639  were supposedly modified by Lyonesse and then approved by the area administrator manager Sobchak.
I can hardly believe that neither of them saw that the two items have exactly the same image and that nothing was done to change them or one of them.
This is not the first time: on July 8, 2025, I already wrote to Sobchak to adapt the images of paper varieties in the series of Yugoslavia “ 1945 Definitives ” that have the same images as the original stamps. He wrote that he was going to rectify this the next day ... Still hasn't happened.
Finally, I could replace the image of one of the two items mentioned above with mine, but unfortunately my confidence in some administrators is currently far away with their abuse they use.

I haven't supposedly changed them, but adapted them to the information I have.
My main focus here was on the Designer/Engraver.
And of course, I also saw that the same photos are listed with them.
However, one cannot replace the photos if one does not possess these stamps oneself.
So what's the problem? If you do have the stamps, just replace them.

So you do not mind that the same image is used for various items. What is the point of adding an image to an item if it does not reflect the content given to it?
You could replace one of the images or have it replaced by the text “NO IMAGE YET”. Then it would be clear to everyone. 
You could possibly also have pointed out to the area administrator that there are identical images for different items.

I don't think it's such a problem.
I know what I have.
But if you find it such a problem, take a look at the History of #1652967; the originally entered photo is in there.
I edited it with Artificial Intelligence , just to see what is possible.

This is not manipulation, this is simply the future.
It is also just a very simple example of what is possible.
Just wait and see where LD is with AI in a few years.
Absolutely no one can escape that.

@Lyonesse
The original images can still be found in the history of the items.
Why they were replaced by twice the same bad image and then approved is beyond me. This also applies to the images placed in the series  1945 Definitives .

I'd rather have a correct image than a misused one.

With an AI-"enhanced" image, you have no guarantee whatsoever that the details correspond to reality.
In contrast, Google Lens claims with great certainty that it is indeed a specific authentic seal, causing potential errors to reinforce each other uncontrollably.
I think we must fight that vision of the future with all our might.

The handbook says, not without reason,
NB. It is not permitted to use images from the internet, brochures, or other catalogs.
to use!
Perhaps it should be added that the artificial editing of images – such as with Photoshop or AI – (with the exception of rotating and cropping) is also not permitted.
It is bad enough that the colors on the screen are usually unreliable.

I agree with this.

Just wait and see where LD is with AI in a few years.
Hopefully not with an automatically deleted database without a backup:

That may well be, but it is probably best not to rely 'too much' on 'trust' just yet.
Because just like with any 'wiki', far from everything in AI is 'correct'...
Just as Google/Google Lens offers no guarantees...
Those three lawyers in the Netherlands can attest to that by now...
(NOS news 22-02-2026).
It looks correct, but isn't it always...
