20 c bill stamp of 1864

(Bill stamps of 1865)
Card with images of stamps of England
The above card has been used to create forgeries (or has inspired another forger?), since the following forgeries are clearly based on the above card, possibly the others were also forged:
The cancel always appears to be part of "LONDON 14 MAY
79", but is placed in different locations.
Even worse printed forgery with some triangular pattern cancel.
In 1865 19 more values were issued with the face of Queen Victoria (similar to postage stamps of 1868, but with the queen facing the left).
