The first set (#371-4) was offset printed on fluorescent wove paper. The second set (#375-8) was offset printed on vertically laid batonne paper. This paper has thinly spaced vertical lines, and widely spaced horizontal lines.
Lithuania #375 (backside, vertically laid batonne paper)

On panes of Sc.# 375-8, the last item in each of the four rows is a label with the same message in (top to bottom) Russian, English, French, and German.
Cropped from the above cover: #373, Angel lost her halo!
Now that's a donut worthy of catalog mention. Only problem is it's probably one of a kind. I have stamps where the donut travels across the stamp. (several stamps- not the same stamp) Wait a minute, isn't the Britiah Guiana 1c Magenta one of a kind. Your stamp should be worth 10 time as much just because it looks 10 times as good.

Lithuania Jankauskas# 459 non-fluorescent FAKES (on inferior-paper Soviet stationery) over genuine fluorescent stamps (on fluorescent Lithuanian FDC). A bit blurry under longwave UV (me juggling lamp & cam), but the difference is still pretty obvious.
