Odd. I received my 60 tourist visa in Siem Reap through a travel agent. Still unused as you see but as I looked at my passport there is another stamp a few pages later saying "something" without prejudice.

Any idea why?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses a situation where the sender received a tourist visa stamp in their passport that was later marked 'without prejudice,' indicating that the initial stamp was unclear and subsequently replaced with a new one. The comments suggest that the first stamp was illegible and voided to ensure clarity with the new stamp, effectively wasting a passport page but without negatively impacting the visa status.

and I believe we now know that they inked a visa stamp in that wasn't going to work and re-did it on another page.

Agree with the comments already posted ; the first impression was not legible and was void without prejudice to replace it with one that is legible.

Inadvertently you " lost" the use of a page in your passport. If your native country issues passports of different size you might want to consider one with more pages if you travel a lot.

 Couldn't see the sovereign state name. A lot more countries are issuing multi size passports these days. Splendid for those who travel a lot.

It looks as though the first stamp wasn't clear enough so they voided it, "without prejudice" which simply means the cancellation has no prejudicial effect on your visa status. Then they stamped a clearer one in the passport/ Just count yourself lucky they found the inkpad for the second attempt.
