If I'm well informed the 1919 unoverprinted stamps exist in 4 subtypes, the overprinted stamps exist in 6 subtypes.

This type of the 5 kop has a dot below the tree branches.

Second stamp has a dot in the left bottom border (next to the "10").

This 10 kop stamp has a dot below the "K" of "KOP".

If my information is correct, the stamps with "BRITISH OCCUPATION" were re-engraved in six subtypes?

The 1920 overprint has guidelines around each block of 6 stamps.

Block of 25 Kop stamps, note that the subtype is repeated in blocks of 6 (i.e.2 rows and three columns). This can easily be seen by inspecting the "25"s in the bottom corners.

Block of 10 Rub 1920 stamps with guidelines around each set of 6 stamps. Specialists distinguish 6 subtypes (repeated in the sheet). For example, the second stamp in a set of 6 has a white line which connects the upper label to the frameline above it.

Another example for the 7 Rub.
