Saar: Airmail labels

Here are the airmail labels from Saar.

The Saar Protectorate was a German borderland territory twice temporarily made a protectorate state. Since rejoining Germany the second time in 1957, it is the smallest Federal German Area State (Flächenland), the Saarland, thus not counting the city-states Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen. It is named after the Saar River. (Wikipedia)

First label is similar to SAR-A-4 from catalog (black/white label) but the border looks different. Also the lettering  "PAR AVION" : 21.5mm on catalog and mine is 21mm. Labels come on sheets. In two colors: ultramarine or grey-blue/white.
