1880 Bolivia 20 Centavos - B/L Variety?

I found this coin a couple of months ago, but I had forgotten where I placed it until now. It's an 1880 Bolivia 20 Centavos, but the Krause catalog lists a B/L variety in the word "Republica". It appears there is something under the "B" on my coin, as well, however, I cannot tell if it is this variety or something else. I can imagine quality control back then wasn't the best, so I wouldn't be surprised it was a different variety, but please let me know your thoughts. Thanks

    For sure there is something under the U and the B. But I do not know what it is.

    Possibly an erroneous 2nd P followed by a displaced U, before both were corrected? I'm not at all familiar with this series, but that's what I see. Very cool looking in any case!
