French cancels - 01 g Paris numbered stars (étoiles chiffrées) - 6 or 9

In order to make the difference visible between the 6 and 9 star cancels,
some additional markings were added.
In general, a line underneath the number made it pretty clear, but some other marks exist too:

Variations of the 6:

For the 6, the marks are mainly dots

Variations of the 9:





 



For the 9, the marks are X's, +'s, snowflakes, triangles, dots, or just empty space.

For all star cancels, the markings are UNDER the number.
Only clear cancels will give a correct outcome.
