I am looking for some assistance in identifying the variety of these two R152 stamps. I've looked through the Scott Catalog, and done some google searches but can't with much confidence identify which varieties they are.

Appreciate any assistance / opinions / links to sites that might help me figure these out.

Thanks in advance
