Don't cry for Argentina - 03 i National Heroes - Series III : all variations - remarks

Some remarks :

On the 1.04 variation:
The main characteristics of this variation, is the hook at the top of the right end of the U-shape, and the " ~ " in the N of Argentinos.
There are some other particular 'errors' that might be accidental errors or variations, or might occur on more stamps of the same variety...
On the 1.06 variation:

The two oval marks, made me conclude that the next stamp is a 1.06 variation.
Many variations have interrupted lines on these two specific places, but only 1.06 has both.
There were other imperfections, which drew my attention, but that are not specified in the catalogue.

Probably some minor or accidental irregularities, but worth enough to compare to other stamps with the same variation.

The inner oval is clearly interrupted on several places in front and below the main image.
I noticed also two white spots in the middle and inner oval, at the hight of the TIN of Argentionos.

On the 1.07 variation:
On this variation, there is the interrupted inner oval that looks like "---___---" left of the image, and the dot in the 1 of the right 1/2.
More oddities can be found on this particular stamp, and it is worth looking for the same anomalities on similar stamps.
The decoration on the top has an interrupted bottom line, which looks like a white dot.
More striking is the thickened collar in the neck, a smal line in the U-shape and the missing frame line under the image.
On the 2.08 variation:
Next to the obvious irregular line at the bottom corner (right), I also found several  irregularities on the same stamp.
Some of the irregularities can be accidental, or do not occur on all stamps from this variation.
However, I find it interesting to mention also these extra 'marks', and will follow up in case I have more copies of the same variation.

Probably more to follow...
