Jupiter postage stamps

For a comparatively trivial sum I recently purchased a couple of mint (never been used) Australian postage stamps that feature the Jupiter. They were allegedly produced as part of a series to commemorate 100 years of the motor car. I had no previous knowledge of such existence. Are they genuine?

Are they upside down?

Might be! there is no "This way up" arrow on them!!

Check whether the arrow is on the car or the driver - (that's how convicts were identified)
