Uruguay 1859-60 'Sun' issue, genuine stamps and other forgeries.

I've been told that the next stamp is a Fournier forgery (though it does not resemble the forgeries given in 'The Fournier Album of Philatelic Forgeries':

Fournier forgery?

Other forgeries that were made by the forger Fournier:

First choice Fournier forgeries. The 180 c has no ornament in front of the word 'MONTEVIDEO'

Forgeries from the Fournier Album, note the different shades of red in the 100 c value.

A whole sheet of Fournier forgeries of the 100 c value as found in the Fournier Album of Philatelic Forgeries, different from the above shown forgeries (thin numerals).

(I've been told that these two stamps are also Fournier forgeries)

Same 80 c forgery as shown above, but with cancel 'ADMon DE... 5 MAR 59 MONTEVIDEO', this cancel does not appear in 'The Fournier Album of Philatelic Forgeries'

Some Fournier forgeries with the 'ADMINon DE CORREOS NOVbre 15 1862 MONTEVIDEO' cancel:

Forged Fournier cancels: "ADM. DE CORREOS DOLORES REP.OR DEL - URUG." (I believe the genuine cancel has 'O-' instead of 'OR') and "ADMINon DE CORREOS NOVbre 15 1862 MONTEVIDEO"

Forgery with the 'Dolores' cancel.

Another forgery with the 'Dolores' cancel; most likely made by Fournier as well.

A genuine Dolores cancel for comparison
