Stamp Giveaway, Series 2, # 10 [solved]

Rowland Hill (British Virgin Islands, set & souvenir sheet; Chad, set & souvenir sheet; Lesotho, souvenir sheet)

Around the end of the Second World War stamps from a British colony which had earlier been given overprints from an occupying country were given new handstamps by a third country to be used as provisional stamps. Name the 3 countries.

The winner will be the first response to identify all 3 countries at or before 8 AM, May 13, 2022, US Eastern time. If no correct response is received, the winner will be the first response to include 2 correct countries. If no response includes 2 correct countries, the first response with 1 country will win. If no correct countries are included, the first response will win. My decision as to the winner will be final.

Competition is open to all. Good luck to those who enter!

First guess: North Borneo, Japan and Malaysia.

Still working on that, I'm only sure about the occupying country (Japan).
There are several series of japanese overprints on british colonial stamps.

I am assuming that the mentioned stamps have two overprints (Japan and 3rd country) and the third country is a neighbour of the first country.
Is it hot or cold?

British Colony - Malaya(Malaysia)
Occupying Country - Japan
Third Country - Indonesia

Moyen or Middle Congo was a French

The British colony actually was designated a crown colony.

Straight Settlements - Japan - Malacca ?

Straight Settlements
Japan
British Military Administration of Malaya (1945–1946)

Straight Settlements

Indonesia

And Najuknaik is our winner! Congratulations. I had never known about the Indonesian usage until I stumbled on information on the Internet.

Thanks to everyone who participated. It might be a few days until the next competition, keep watching.

Is there any picture of these used by indonesia ?

Quote: "Frenchlover"​Is there any picture of these used by indonesia ?

Nope...but there's an 8 c stamp bearing a Japanese single-frame overprint in the link mentioned by you that looks to be one of the forgeries. (My opinion)
Many forgeries were made and are hard to differentiate.

Below stamps were used by Indonesia...

(1). The PTT Indonesia medium-sized circular handstamp on the Japanese single-frame overprint.



(2). PTT Indonesia hand-stamped overprint on the DAI NIPPON 2602 MALAYA Japanese occupation machine overprint.

​Thanks, Will!!!

Fun game as always, wonder if there are any coins/banknotes like this?

eg. an overstruck coin with a later countermark
or a double overprinted banknote (maybe somewhere post-autrohungarian empire?)

Too nice to be true

Here's a coin minted in Peru as a Spanish coin, countermarked as a British emergency coin, and subsequently chop marked in India and China. Probably of Bolivian silver. Description adds in Mexico, but I don' see the evidence of that.
