Hi Dave
The stamps are not clear or large enough to actually see the varieties, but I'll give it a go.
½d: White flaw on the kangaroo's right foot.
½d: Break in the middle horizontal bar of the "4".
1/-: Wrong font "B" and thin vertical bar (leg).
When you receive the stamps, repost them in a larger format, and I will see if I can pick out the variety as there are many.

Are the middle two double strikes of the overprints?

Hi Harvey
No they aren't. It is a blue-black thick sans-serif font type.

The spot on the roos foot looks like a fleck on the Hagner, the overprints are (to my eye) normal.
They're coming from Canada, and I may not see them for a while, so I'll share the good news. It's difficult to see, but the 1/- has the roller flaw above O of ONE, CV £250. I haven't gone blind yet!

Hi Dave
The 1/- roller flaw is definitely scarce. In the 2019 edition of the ACSC the stamp is catalogued at $475 MUH, $400 MLH and $475 Used; which is around the £250 mark.

It hasn't arrived yet, hence the poor image, but I paid above full catalogue for this group of BCOF overprints. Can the eagle-eyed amongst you see why?
