Look Perf 11 to me? The bottom stamp you added after your original post looks to be perf 10. Here is a good site to learn about these.

What does your perforation gauge say about these stamps?

Honestly, I am so happy when people ask questions about their stamps here - each day it makes an additional reason to double check/review my own stamps. So, thank you! )))
StampSmarter website is great
As a novice collector and especially, reviewing dozens of the same kind of stamps at once, I find useful:

First, just from looking at the images, the perfs are the same, top, bottom and right, on the first two stamps you posted. If you aren't comfortable with your ability to detect just by looking, and you don't have a perf gauge, you can still answer your own "question".

But please continue to ask questions. I am not criticizing, but just offering some advice for answering you own question.

For example, for your top stamp:
