Expert Opinions needed on a T206 S.C. Unusual Overprint

It appears to me that someone wrote "3" in over the "1" in 150 subjects.

And an ugly three at that. looks like it's written over the one the red looks slightly different

someone absolutely wrote the 3 in red ink over the top of the 1.

Certainly not an expert, but the font gives it away.
Look at the three below and compare it.
And you can also see the "1" underneath clearly.

Definitely a handwritten "3"

Weird that it looks to be the EXACT same color as the original ink, though

No offense, but I don't think it looks exactly the same at all. It's red, but to me there is clearly a difference between the two reds...subtle, sure, but there's two shades present.
