Georg Maier and Juan Pablo Aguilar have reported an Ecuador revenue provisional with a black MOVIL overprint on the vermilion one-sucre telegraph stamp. Their illustrated study appeared on 18 October 2026. The authors say it is the only example they have seen and that the combination had not previously been reported to them.

The normal provisional uses the carmine stamp, identified as Hiscocks 96 and Barefoot 71; Olamo lists the revenue provisional as 418. The newly illustrated vermilion base stamp is Hiscocks 95 and Barefoot 70. It bears a violet cancellation with two distinguishable V letters.

The authors cite two 1947 orders, each authorising 500,000 black MOVIL overprints. They suggest that a small quantity of vermilion sheets may have entered production, while acknowledging that further evidence is needed.
