The Scott catalog shows the different watermarks, but does not differentiate between them in the actual listings (not even in the US Specialized).
Watermark #12 was used from 1894-1898, so the dark green varieties (minor catalog number in the US Specialized) are likely to have that watermark. However, there was more than one watermark in use during that time period.
There are several paper types for those issues, usually distinguished by paper color. Whether there is a match between paper type and watermark, I do not know, as I do not collect that area. Someone else will have to chime in.
