Default Identifying a british postmark

Good evening,

I've got 2 wrappers
http://cjoint.com/?0DDqcH9eBud
http://cjoint.com/?0DDqdtxCaw3

and I don't know anything about this kind of postmarks.
They seem to be sent from London EC (The Edward VII one has a return address
The Times Office, EC, and the other one has also mention of London EC on the
back).
As they were sent to a foreign country (Germany and France respectively), I
thought that these postmaks were used in the Foreign Branch for Newspapers.
But on my "Collect british postmarks" I cannot see them, and my Parmenter
(London) gives very few information about Foreign Branch.
Can anyone help me ? Do you know a book that could give me some more
informations (conditions of use, meaning of the letters, different types...)

Thanks for your help

Marcel
