Postage stamps of Lithuania (New York & Toronto philatelic societies) catalogue states that stamp 191 (50 c on 10 auk) has vertical watermark (original stamp 128 has horizontal wmk). Stamp 190 (50 c on 5 auk) has horizontal wmk (original 112 has vertcal wmk). Is it right or is it a typing error? I received a set of overprinted stamps with photo certificate of Dr. Klein and the watermarks are as on non-overprinted stamps. If it is not a typing error then I would doubt the certificate. Thank you.

You are absolutely correct, there are typos in the original handbook "Postage Stamps of Lithuania". The typos are also present in Lithuanian translation of this handbook.
Airmail overprint (1922) 50 Cent on 5 Auks (Mi 184 Sc C29) has a vertical watermark.
Airmail overprint (1922) 50 Cent on 10 Auks (Mi 185 Sc C30) has a horizontal watermark.
