It appears to be issued to a Post Town (Yeovil) rather than a sub-office, and it is used in January 1954, nearly twenty years after the previously last known usage of a rubber Climax handstamp.
It appears to be the correct size (allowing for the characteristic distortion) and the date format is correct with a period "." after the three letter month.
Were rubber Climax handstamps also issued to head offices, perhaps for internal use ? This envelope, being returned to the Netherlands, was probably being handled separately from the normal mail so may have been handstamped with whatever canceller came to hand in the office.
