would anyone have a diagram showing the different varieties for watermark W6 emblems - Great Britain? In the catalog I see only examples using GvR watermark.

EDITED: Apologies, I used there term ' errors ' mistakingly. I'm looking images of the different varieties, inverted, reversed, etc.

The numbered images are from SG. SG depicts watermarks as if you are viewing them from the front of the stamp.

The top left image is just flipped, so that it shows as it appears when looking at a stamp from the back.

Here are the four basic orientations, as seen from the back of the stamp (i.e., face down in the watermark tray).

I scanned the watermark from Commonwealth and then copied it and rotated it, reversed it, and rotated the reversed image. Voila.
