It has been drawn to my attention by a knowledgeable and respected auctioneer, that the letters are actually R.M.S. Could it be something to do with the Royal Mail Steamers (Steamships/Ships) ? This is more promising.

It is a genuine handstamp on a 1933 OHMS cover from Samarai to Sydney. The Collector or Sub-Collector of Customs may also have been the Postmaster, especially at Daru. They were multi-tasked in those early days. Lee had to list the similar H.M. Customs Daru BNG handstamp because it was used to cancel some Queensland stamps. Please see attachments.

I think this card is ex Tom Belknap. Yep, Prestige Auction 113 lot 960 in 2005 and previously Christies Auction lot 846 in May 1991.
