Hi seamus

It is best to ensure that your IRC's are stamped in the box on the left hand side when purchasing them just to be on the safe side. However, the USPS will accept IRC's that haven't been stamped - as per this note on the USPS website:

Under Universal Postal Union’s regulations member countries are not required to place a control stamp or postmark on the international reply coupons that they sell. Therefore some foreign issue reply coupons which are tendered for redemption may bear the name of the issuing country (generally in French) rather than the optional control stamp or postmark. Such coupons are exchangeable for U.S. postage as specified in 372.3b.

Good luck!
