Those scratch marks along the right side of the design always indicate Type V, #24. They come in different patterns, corresponding to different reliefs used to make the Type V plates (this example is Relief C).
ETA: All stamps of this design with the scratch marks are Type V, but not all Type V stamps have the scratch marks.
Thanks for the tips Dudley your a champ I wonder if this could be a project for stampsmarter crew? Pictures of each type showing (circling) the differences? That may be a great resource!
