2 Different 'Thi' cancels for one post office

Travancore......2 different Thi cancel numbers for one postoffice....

Scan - 1.... 'Thi 43' & 'Thi 81'.... Ettumanoor.
Scan - 2 & 3.... 'Thi 43' is attributed to Ettumanoor & Athirampuzha.

I do not know what prompted the authorities to change the 'Thi 81' in 1890 A.D. To 'Thi 43' in 1891. Maybe the proximity of Thi 45 (Kottayam) might be the reason.
