Thank you

In Monnaies et Jetons de l'Indochine Française Lecompte lists a few other similar Indochinese essais with similar alterations, mostly for the purposes of testing the piastres' weight. 1931 was the first and only year of issue, for the new reduced size piastre.

I added it a while back; it's listed here on Numista:

This coin is the meaning of life, the universe and everything

The auction says that the patterns are supposed to be cancelled with 6 punches
