The first appears to be type I. The second a type III (There are 3 pages of this stuff in SCotts Specialized). So guessing... item one is a #10 (maybe) and two is a
#26 (maybe).

I am sure an expert will chime in with a yey or ney...

The first stamp is indeed a Type 1 but is from Plate 4 which means it is a #11. The second stamp is quite likely a Type IV, #26A. If you post a better image of that second stamp it will help. I am 99.9% sure it is a Type IV though.

Measuring the dimensions of these stamps will do no good.
