Depends which catalogue you're talking about, given that these are British stamps we'll use Stanley Gibbons.
From top to bottom

5 Shillings - (Edit) OOPS got it it quite wrong check out the post below.
Thanks scotzm for the correct info

1 Shilling green 1856 (trimmed right side)
71 - deep green
72 - green
73 - pale green

Four Pence red 1862 small uncoloured letter in corners,
Type B - diagonal 'hair lines' on all 4 corners
2 copies, one right-hand straight edge
81 - bright red
82 - pale red

Four Pence grey-brown, large coloured letters in corner
plate 17, 1880
154

The listings are from a Stanley Gibbons Part 1, British Commonwealth catalogue, sorry, I can't help you with which shades the stamps are

Just a slight correction to YeaPolska's posting...
the 5 shillings value is from either the 1867 printing (maltese cross watermark) or the 1882 printing (large anchor watermark).

SG#126 or 127 (color variations) Maltese Cross watermark
SG#130 or 134 (paper variations) Large Anchor watermark

The 1884 printing had value tablets on both sides of the queen's head.
