The Giant Pairing Vibration (GPV) is a correlated two-nucleon excitation mode in atomic nuclei predicted long time ago. It is expected to be excited in two-nucleon transfer reactions, similarly to the pairing vibrations feeding the ground states of even-even nuclei near shell-closure. Recent experiments have provided evidence for this mode in 
C and 
C nuclei populated via 
C,
C(O,O)C,C two-neutron transfer reactions at 84 MeV beam energy. In the present paper, new data show the persistence of the same structures in the energy spectra of C and C populated by the same reactions at a higher bombarding energy of 275 MeV. The extracted centroid, width, spin-parity and transition probability fully agree with the previous observation thus giving a robust confirmation that the GPV mode is populated in such transfer reactions.
