4 type I's to choose from with similar colors.
Comments on which these are.
Colors shown look exactly as the stamps (on my screen at least)

To illustrate the difficulty of doing color analysis via this medium, I offer the following image. Here are two OP original image screen shots taken from two different PCs. One PC runs 32-bt color screen resolution while the other runs 16-bit color resolution. This result in two very different shades when view on different PCs even though the original image is identical.

To add even more confusion nl. I've combined your scan with Don's scan, and my system renderes them pretty much the same. That said, I don't think any of them are pink, so no 248, 249s and 250s. Here's my composite and my color guesses.

You probably have a 250, 249 and a 265. Check the stamp on the right for a watermark. The rough perforations on the left stamp strongly indicate that it has no watermark. It is too light to be a 249 carmine lake 249 and it is not a pink 248. The stamp on the right looks like a typical 265 color.
