I've spent hours (with about 60 cut squares) going through the die information from Scott's with a magnifying glass and ruler, but can't seem to make any headway.

Here are a few I could just "eyeball" as being different, but still can't link them definitively to a specific die.

Any experts out there?

Thanks, Dave.

re: U.S. Cut Squares - Confusion with Different Dies

Dave, my interest in cut squares is very narrowly focused and doesn't include those you're presenting here. The United Postal Stationery Society produces separate 19th and 20th century catalogs that have a tremendous amount of detail. I don't know about the 20th century catalog, but a new edition of the 19th century catalog is available in hard cover format. I was told a few weeks ago the new edition of the 19th century catalog in PDF format would be available for downloading this month. I've got the previous edition of the 19th century catalog in loose paper format, but that format is no longer being produced in the newer edition. Now, they only offer the hard cover version and (soon) the downloadable PDF. If interested, watch this page or contact them via the contacts page.
