 ''Chinese stamps with inscription  and an additional inscription

All horizontal format names or phrases are read from right to left here. They may read in the other direction on some stamps. In any case, if there is more than one column, the rightmost column is read first. Almost there!

The idea here is to match up the additional character(s) in the overprint or surcharge. Only examples are shown, not every possible stamp in every version. Perhaps someday...
