The no.pos.15 stamp looks good.It has the little dot on top of the R.
The right numeral I is a bit shorter in height & shading lines in the horn.
On pos.25 I am a bit wary.OK we have the right leg of the R with a
small space above.There is the small break in the upper shield in the bottom right corner;but the mouth piece of the horn does not look the same.The White part of the cross is too even.I would put this one on hold.The background lines are identical though.There cold be some printing differences;it seems well inked.

I agree with your analysis of position 25 stamp. It should not have the period after Roman numeral II and the shape of the "p" of Rp is wrong. I think it is a forgery as well. The other position ones I think are legitimate

The other 4 stamps look good.
Pos.20 rounded right leg if upper R,Forked right leg of lower R.
Pos.28 Breaks in the Lower P & rounded bottom.Black dot in the leg of A.
Pos.10 Upper left arm of Y,black dot on top.Right leg of lower R shorter.
Pos.3 Upper right arm of Y short.Tip of rope work right of 10 broken.
There could well be printing variations in all this.Would need lot's of
comparing with certified examples. Below: Certified stamps.Pos.15 & 16.



For Pos.25 ;will have too find a certified copy and compare again;(case not closed).

Added comparison; Pos.20 pic 1)rgstamp,pic 2)certified stamp.

Sadly I am growing a liking for early Swiss stamps. Its like smoking cigarettes.

I share the feeling, and for classics in general and their forgeries. But it has gotten hard to find nice looking faulty ones or very nice cheaper values that fit my budget, or even clean forgeries priced like forgeries. It would be nice to have a Sperati or two, though.

Well done, perf12.
