The Quinzaine Impériale Omnibus was printed either in recess -!sic,if you believe the Michel catalogue that is; it looks like offset-litho to me- by Hélio-Vaugirard or in recess by Institut de Gravure. The Kouang-Tchéou stamp is supposed to have the Indochine stamp as base, but the country name is in red [typo] and there is no reference to 'Indochine'. The photogravure printed 'Pour la protection...' however of that area have both the 'Indochine' and 'Kouang Tchéou'!

Michel mentions an 'A. Degorce' [French Guinea] but the only 'Degorce' I could find as a designer and engraver for French stamps was Georges Léo Degorce. And quite frequently in the late 1930-ies, early 1940-ies.
