I find these things a nightmare to id as a rule. All 3 are perf 14, Large crown. Looks to be no blue in the paper. The 2 unused I have as SG40 Rose red, the bottom one SG37 Red-Brown. Experts thoughts?   |

The bottom one is heavily sulphuretted hence the dark brown area. It would benefit greatly from cleaning with hydrogen peroxide on a cotton bud Q-tip gentle rubbing. Then lightly wash with a soft paint brush
