Can anyone give some insight into this stamp from Peru? It is Scott #C199 overprinted (dated 1968) and surcharged. The note in Scott under C199 refers to other other surcharged stamps, in 1976 and 1979, but does not mention this one. Is there an SG listing, or one in any other catalog?

I would be surprised if anyone who collects WW or Peru especially doesn't have one of these. I have one and just mounted it next to the regular airmail issue. Probably ended up in the packet trade years ago. (my copy however is used so I guess some of them were actually put in service.)
