I've just looked at some pages for 1782 in the New Monkland baptism registers and none of the entries have the letters written, so I do think it's worth considering the 1783-1794 Act.

I've now also looked at some from 1795-6 and, again, no extra letters.

You could well be right, Brevitas. I had it in mind that the stamp duty wasn't introduced until the 1790s.

So suppose they were all left out of the register for not paying, then when the stamp duty was abolished they all rushed to repair the omission for free.

But if the stamp duty wasn't abolished until 1794, why would they all be getting the backlog recorded in 1792?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
