What I am more interested in if as the seller says that the upper right stamp is indeed Scott Catalogue F29b the large rounded '5' variety?

The "5" on the upper left stamp is inverted.
The "5" on the lower right stamp is sans serif
the other two have serifs and are similar to the inverted "5"

Based on the image of F29b in the Scott Classic Catalogue, I would say that the top two stamps, and the stamp on the lower left have the large round "5". In the catalogue image, the large round "5" has serifs. The confusion I have is with the "5" on the stamp at the lower right. It is sans serif, but is also a large "5", unlike as shown in the catalogue image of the "5" on F29 and F30, which is also sans serif, but is smaller in size.
The block of four being offered on Ebay probably should have a certificate as it is showing a rare surcharge, inverted "5" maybe also the larger numeral, and a large sans serif numeral. It could have a value of a couple hundred dollars at least, if genuine.

Seller says this block of four has on the upper left stamp the inverted '5' and on the upper right stamp a rounded '5' which is listed in the scott catalogue as a large round '5'
