I have the follow 1/2p Machins and trying to identify the thin and thick values. These are 2B.

Left to right: A, B, C. D

A- definitely thin
B - more thick than thin
C - seems more thin than thick
D - definitely thick

The telltale feature I see is the stem of the 2 as it joins with the base but is there some else.

I have another denomination that I am trying to check but trying to get a better image. my 24MP camera with macro captures details better but a little more setup.
