Any help identifying these Argentine perfins appreciated in advance.

BE on a 1923, red, 5c San Mart�n (no dot after value)
FyP on a 1935, red, 10c Rivadavia
JBI on a 1935, buff, 1c Sarmiento
all three perfins are inverted.

During the early decades there was a Federal-Provincial bank (Banco
Federal y Provincial) operating in the major cities. �FyP instantly
brought that to mind. �However, all "bank" perfins I have seen to this
date (in other people's collections, I regret) have had Bco. perfinned
on the first line and whatever else on the second. �My FyP does not.

The JBI pattern I have is on a cover postmarked Tres Arroyos in 1938.
The advert on the cover's reverse lists the firm as Juan B. Istilart,
Ltda. Tres Arroyos. Interestingly, in 1938 they were promoting their
'windmills' - apparently the type that were used with water wells.
