The second pair:Obv: pink-purple borders on yellow underprint, farmer and factory worker walking side by side at centre, factory at lower left and harvesting scene at lower right. The Farmer and Factory Workeris a common theme in the first series but this design was never issued and is the first time seen by the cataloguerRev: deep, rich green with only the right half drawn presumably because the left side is the mirror image.
