The second one is a Die 1, U429. The top one probably is, too. Need to measure George's head and/or examine the back to see evidence of web fed press (or not).
(the die pinch crease on the second one tells us it was made on the Huckins rotary press, which printed using die 1. Die 9 is eliminated by the easy-to-identify narrow oval lettering. Dies 2-6 are web-fed and do not produce die pinch creases in the bottom half of the indicium. Dies 7 & 8, made on a flat plate press, do not produce die pinch creases.)
