Japanese countermarked 1 Yen, right side Tokyo countermark [solved]

Discussion about Japan • 1 Yen - Meiji (small type - countermarked)

I noticed that the variant of this coin (N#135906) with the countermark on the right side was not included on the page, nor does it have a page of its own. Would it be more appropriate to create a new separate page, or add this information onto the original page? The only difference between the two varieties is the location of the countermark, which indicated the location at which the countermarking occurred (Osaka or Tokyo).

I hesitate for a long time as nobody ever requested one but I think I would put them in one page as there is really not much difference and we don't even differentiate the different branches anymore.

I just submitted an edit request for the title and comment box description. I'm unsure on exactly how to format the date section, so I left that unchanged for now. 

Which formatting would be better?:
20 (1887) 年十二治明; countermark on left/right side
or
20 (1887) 年十二治明; Osaka/Tokyo mint

I added subtitles to the images for easier recognition so I would choose the branch location as it is shorter and indicated in the comment section.
