I've been told that this are two 'Michelsen'
reprints with 'BOGOTO' cancel in an ellipse, I've also seen
uncancelled Michelsen reprints
Forgeries:
(The above forgeries are Senf forgeries,
easily recognized by the 'FACSIMILE' overprint, in the right
image somebody has tried to remove this overprint and applied a
forged cancel)
I've been told that the next stamps are forgeries as well:
Forgeries of the 1 c and 2 c values.
Probably the first forgeries of the 25 c described in Album
Weeds. The paper is too blue. The design is different. The last
image shows a similar design shown in the catalogue of Placido Ramon de Torres "Album
Illustrado para Sellos de Correo" of 1879 (information
passed to me thanks to Gerhard Lang, 2016).

Normally these stamps are imperforate, but perforated stamps exist
Nicely perforated 1 c and privately (badly) perforated 5 c values
Blue '8' cancel on 10 c value. I've also seen this cancel in
black on a 5 c stamp of this set.

A 5 c with a violet 'Flower cancel'.
In the 'Fournier Album of Philatelic Forgeries', some forgeries can be found of the 10 P black on red and 10 P blue (perforated and imperforate). In my opinion, the first 'S' of 'PESOS' is different.
Fournier forgeries from the Fournier Album (with 'FAUX'
overprint), reduced sizes
Fournier forgery of the 10 P value with 'FAUX' overprint.
