Hello all, I need help to correctly identify these stamps. This series confuse me like you would not believe. They are all the same stamps, the left one came from a different envelope than the right. So I scanned a fair presentation of the stamps in each envelope. I hope it helps.

The scans on the left side are Scott #220. They are easy to identify from the others as there are no "triangles" in the upper corners of the stamp.

The scans on the right side are a bit more difficult as they could be 248, 249, 250, 251, 252, 265, 266, 267, 279B. All are varieties of the same stamp with different watermarks/no watermarks or minor color varieties and/or different styles of the corner triangles. You would need to provide much more detailed scans of those stamps to correctly identify.

The ones on the left could be either 219D or 220 depending on color. 219D is lake and 220 is carmine.

The top left stamp looks to be 219D lake. The other three with no triangles look like 220. That is how it appears on my screen anyways.
