1) The first question shows the front and back of a 2 pence Prince Edward Island (ignore the 4pc in the photo.The two options on this stamp are "yellowish toned paper" and "coarse, wove, bluish white" paper. Any thoughts on which?

2) The second is the orange South Australia stamp. It appears to be printed sideways. Does anyone know anything about such a stamp?

3)Next are the two heligoland one shilling stamps. The damaged and perfed one looks to be a SG#8.If unused, recent CV of 160 pounds, used 200. A nice find, but does the obvious damage negate the value so much as to be worth very little?
The second stamp is a tough one. If this is rouletted, it is SG#2...with CV of 180-200 pounds, Does this look rouletted to you? Or perhaps even a forgery? A closer look does not look like an intentional removal of perf, but that would make little sense as it would add no value to the perfed stamp. Thoughts?

4) The last stamp is the GB 2d stamp. Color options are green or grey green. Thoughts?

These all come from an old album purchased by one of the few stamp shops anywhwew near me. I purchased it for less that $50 (us). I have had a blast IDing any that look salable, and getting ready to post to a site. So far, I've got over 100 set to post. I'll easily surpass what I paid for the album, but there is no way to measure the enjoyment.

re: colors and other looking for ID

1) It is the common white paper variety Scott and Unitrade simply state "White or yellowish paper".

2) The stamp is not printed sideways, It is a "wing margin" copy from the edge of a pane that was next to the gutter in the sheet before cutting into panes.

3) Helgoland stamps are almost all reprints. See the following snippet from Scotts.

4) This issue was printed with fugitive ink (dissolves in water). It is too far gone to assign a color to it. This is what the original stamp looks like:
