I wonder:

- Why was it franked twice, at two different dates?

- Why are the rates different?

- Why has the value on one metering stamp 3 leading zeros and it has only 2
on the other (maybe different postage meters used)?

The scan of the right side (about 1/3) of the letter, zoomed, is shown he

Hello Victor:

To start , the two meter impressions came from two different types
of Pitney-Bowes machines.

Could we see the whole envelope, please?
This might give us some evidence as to the rates.
