Your demonstration of perforation measurement is faulty, because the left-most perf tooth (or gap) should be on the left-most vertical line, not on the first diagonal line.
David. Although De La Rue printed and perforated the Malay stamps they used a variety of perforators, even for the Malay stamps, with the $1 being perf 13½, the 50c, $2, $5 being 12½ and the others either 13x12½ or 12½x13 depending on orientation. I agree it is most unlikely that the $5 stamp being queried is not one of these, especially as they were comb perforated. Whilst it is possible (remotely) that the $5 could turn up with 12½, any unusual combination (ie not one of those listed) would surely have been found by now.

HTML here. So far I have managed to post with 'occasional' HTML. Other than in this posting, I have used the {b} bold code to address individuals, but not used any {p} or {/br} codes and the message has still appeared as intended. (So far!)
