The QE II stamps are called "Machins" - indicating a particular design type for GB commemoratives. They are of minimum value. I tried to sell a couple of the larger ones (as you show) on ebay a week or two ago and no interest.

The very large Machins are called Horizon labels. They aren't really stamps - they are labels printed by machine, on large gold sticky labels. The perforated one is one of the early ones - they stopped making them with perfs after complaints that they were getting caught up in the printing machines. The non-perf ones are therefore much more common, and still in use today. They normally have minimal value as there are millions of them.

The ones with the little silhouette head in the corner are also Great Britain, and again, of no monetary worth beyond pennies.
