I), date on stamp is vertically configured rather than horizontally across cancel, moreover 1880 is an extraordinarily late usage as the Ty.

1704 c 23b Image#23b, 1874-75 2pi Yellow, perforated 12½ rough, single on cover tied by "Postes Egyptiennes/Alexandrie/2 JAN 79" (Smith Ty. VI-2) datestamp with an additional strike to Cairo, registered "Raccomandato" (Smith Ty. Reg-6) in oval marking, Cairo arrival datestamp on reverse, interesting array of five wax seals on reverse as well, cover and stamp with some toning and slightly rough opening at left not effecting stamp, fine.

The Smith Type VI cancellation saw the changeover from Italian to French as the language used at the Post Office. This coincided with Caillard Pasha becoming Postmaster General. Only four cities received this datestamp - Alexandria, Helouan, Roda and Suez. Examples are, for some reason, very scarce to find. (Image)

1714 c 31 Image#31, 1879-1902 10pa Lilac rose, tied to small cover by a black retta cancellation to Cairo, very fine; both the retta cancel and single usage of the 10pa Lilac rose are very scarce on cover.

Retta cancellations were originally designed as devices to obliterate stamps while the datestamp was applied separately. By 1866, retta cancels were used solely for stamps which weren't obliterated by a datestamp for reasons such as being overlooked at the originating post office. (Image)
