Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society
The year 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the first year of operation of the Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society following the amalgamation of the Germany & Colonies Stamp Club (established 1947) and the Stockton German Study Group (1960).

The G&CPS celebrated its inaugural year in 1964 with the first Germania Posta philatelic exhibition held in Stockton.

Message: I don't have the English language Michel, so I can't relate to your page numbers, so I'm using the German version, also the Handbuch-Katalog Markenheftchen. The left pane is indeed HBl 32 B HAN 2 and is from the left margin of a complete booklet sheet. Complete booklet sheets were sold from 1921 and units without staple holes are therefore fairly common. The variant with a 'P' is listed as 32 B HAN 2.2 in the Handbuch, which comes from rows 3 & 4 of the sheet. The right item with HAN in a perforated label is from KZ 1 from the central two gutters on the sheet. I don't think there is a separate catalogue number for this partial KZ 1. I will send you an email with a scan of the complete sheet taken from the Handbuch, so you can see that the printers went overboard (for collectors) with the unnecessarily large number of HANs all around the sheet. Hope that helps.
