Brian,
There are actually two different regular sets (both issued in 1950), and two sets of reprints (printed in 1955).
Note the bottom line of Chinese characters to the left of the value.
On the two stamps to the left in your image, there is no additional line of text above the bottom line. On the stamp on the right, there are four Chinese characters above the bottom line.
The stamps without the four characters are from People's Republic of China, Scott #57-59, but you only have #57-58. #59 has a $2,000 face value.
The stamp with the four characters above the bottom line is from the Northeast Liberation Area of China (Northeast China), Scott #1L156. The set is Scott #1L154-156, with face values of $2,500; $5,000; and $20,000.
You will also need to check if these stamps are reprints. Paper of the original stamps appears bright under a UV lamp, while the paper of the reprints looks dull.
