The meter stamp used in 2001 at Yangon GPO has ungraved rectangle with the opening for value figure. According to the international postage meter stamp catalogue, it was appeared to be Frama "EPS" (MV).
It has been recorded in the Meter Stamp Society's quarterly bulletin Vol 63, No 3, Autumn 2011 page 11. The screenshot for that report is shown below. The bulletin can be downloaded at the Meter Stamp Society website.
The whole cover with this meter stamp is shown below. The foreign postage at the
time is 30 Kyats for the letter up to 20 grams. On the envelope, there
is the hand writing saying the total postage of 33. Not sure what is
extra 3 Kyats for. PSE has postage of 2 Kyats and the PSE was uprated
with meterfrank of 31 Kyats, making up 33 Kyats.
Another such meter stamp was recorded in The Burma Fantail, the Journal of the Burma (Myanmar) Philatelic Study Circle, Vol 2, No 3, July 2005, page 31. It is assumed that the die was removed or covered. And claimed the die was repaired. The screenshot of the report is shown below.
