BIG square gold Postage Stamps, do they always show the date + PO location ?

katesheet

The big gold square stamps you see on letters, or provided by the post office,

like this one


is there anything different about them than the smaller stamps you can buy in a supermarket ?
(besides the size)

What is the advantage of using these compared to the older style (smaller) stamps, you get in a booklet?


and on these particular stamps,
do they stamp the Date + time + location
(as they have done above as 8/5/10, N1) ..do they stamp these details only on recorded delivery and special delivery items?

or they stamp the date/time/location on these stamps even if you send it 'ordinary' first class (even if it isn't recorded or special delivery).

It's what Kate does.

Here is another recent set of three: one, two and three.

And no, Kate doesn't answer questions.
