Can you put up the watermarks of your perforated TwoPence stamps. The most difficult letters to distinguish in the alphabets are "S" and "G" ... and you have them both

No need for the back as well... knowing they are all Large Crown means none can be from plate 4. As alphabet 1 and 2 check letters have a very similar "S" and "G" ,and my eyes are not as good as they used to be, it means they also cannot be alphabet 1.

To my eyes, SG & EA look like plate 5 and ND as plate 6.

ND is definitely plate 6 as it is Alphabet 3. Stanley Gibbons gives only one example of an Alphabet 3 check letter "N"... and it is that one
