I have these 2 sets (pictures below) that seem to form a nice series. Can anyone please advise which ones I am missing to complete the sets?

Also any info on what these series were called and what the years were would be helpful.

The top one was called the Costume definitives and were issued
between 1948/52 and most were reissued in 1958 on white gum
and paper.
You are missing quite a few

The other one was called "Beautiful Austria" series issued
between 1973/83.

Stampboylife your local library likely has a set of Scott Catlogues you can use to figure out which stamps from a set you have and which are missing. Cataloging your stamps this way also provides the opportunity to document which Scott numbers are missing so you can more easily seek to find them.

Where I live, the libraries always have both a reference set of Scott's and a circulating set, so I have frequently checked out a few of the volumes so I can work at home.

If your local library does not have a set, ask if the can do an inter-library loan and get catalogs from another library for you to check out.
