There are stamps aplenty on page 1081 to be sure, but stamps alone don't
constitute a surefire reference to Lot 49, just as little as references to
oil, say, constitute a surefire reference to the oil-theme in GR. In my
opinion, the stamps on page 1081 of AtD are of a more metaphysical nature
than the stamps of Lot 49. The stamps in Lot 49 are first and foremost
sinister, subversive forgeries, whereas the stamps on page 1081 of AtD speak
of alternate universes, bilocations etc., and thus tie more naturally to the
themes of AtD than to Lot 49. But that's just my interpretation of course,
and you're welcome to yours.
Best,
Tore
