The best seems to be the Tanganyika 5c - it's SG 89, and catalogues £1.50 used.
It would be worth checking the watermark of the 1 Anna red. The inverted watermark is £150 and the reversed watermark (so that it appears correct when seen from the back of the stamp) £170 used.
The script written across the 50c grey would suggest Revenue usage. (No extra premium though).
If you soak the 1 anna, face up in cold water please, as soon as they separate, lightly wash the gum off and dry, the ink may be "fugitive" or react with the water damaging the stamp.
Thanks for posting these Commonwealth stamps. Made me remember I had a packet. Had a quick look & found some father & son portraits. Nice to see other stamps with watermarks. When I get some more time I'll have a good look at them. Thanks for putting up the thread. John
