I agree on the identifications with Rod. However, there is also a rare (£6000) perf 12 version of the first stamp, and an inverted watermark is known with the ordinary perf 14 (£80 used).
Why not start here? You'll have to do it sometime. But before lashing out on lighter fluid, you could try simply placing the stamps face down on a black surface, or holding them up facing towards a strong light - that's often sufficient to show up the watermark.
Then you'll need to get to work with your trusty perforation gauge.
