Revenue protection - is this one of ours?

A consequence of issuing entertainment media-related stamps around the world is that one seems very much like another.  But I wonder if any British stamps have been successfully used in other countries because of this?

In fact many of the thematic stamps issued by Royal Mail - wildlife, comic-book heroes, film and tv franchises - are mirrored in other countries.

I've added the latest example of confusion - a non-UK Star Trek stamp used here - to the Postal History blog along with other examples.  

To demonstrate here are three very similar stamps.


IS it any surprise that one might be used in a different country?
