Numista lists 3 tokens, which are hard to distinguish from each other (no information on size and weight). I'd really appreciate if anyone has suggestions regarding these three:

My (still modest) collection:

Not a clue, but I suggest contacting someone with the HT# catalogue (Hard Times Tokens by Krause Publications).
Where one is a half cent token I am thinking it might be the size of a U.S. half cent piece.
There other two I am not sure.

I see the corner of the safe has a different base of the X pointing at it ~
from our HT#31 and 32/33. Just found this page which confirms it ...

The end of the safe has the handle in different position to the vertical strap ...


Not sure why one of our pages is 1/2 Cent. If it should be 1 Cent like the other
two then our HT# 32 and 33 look the same ~ from the X and strap; so both shown are HT# 33.
Similarly both those pages have below FOLLOW the top right of the E in THE comes
between OW so again look to be the same - on the third page that part of E is below W letter.
Then also our HT numbers are wrong. Anyone else know if they are correct?
Also are the details on the link I found correct?
I see there is also HT #34 with FINANCIERING instead of EXPERIMENT.

Do we really need to create multiple pages for such small variations ?
I only see two variants from the same type here.

Same about those Conder tokens :

​The thing is that the catalogues that list the specialist tokens like these, or the Conder Tokens, or the Australasian trade tokens are usually pretty comprehensive and give each variation an individual catalogue number, rather than having a catalogue number for the type and then a .1, .2, .3 etc for the variants. When I was entering the NZ trade tokens I combined the variants of a type into one page with descriptions of the variations in the comments, like this one https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces77507.html

But it's really up to the referees of the individual currencies to decide how it's handled. If you talk to the referee and ask if you can combine them and then do the work of combining them, then most of them would probably be OK with it.
What? Me Worry
I have kindly been sent images of two pages from the catalogue by a member.
I now know what HT #31 looks like, and our page is correct, and I have put notes
on there what to look for. Now looking at the other two pages ...

HT #31 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces121498.html
HT #32 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces79270.html
HT #33 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces121200.html
HT #34 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces151553.html [just added]

All amended, and notes and sizes added.
Or at some time someone creates just one page with illustrations of the
differences and creates separate lines on it for them. :)

Edit: this is what HT #32 looks like ...

​What if you uploaded your images pointing out the key points to the extra section on each of the token pages?
Yes - I was thinking of doing that, will see what I can do. Thanks :)

Edit: Just now made a few quick examples of each >

HT #31 / HT #32 {Letter S fully under foreleg, or to right a little]


HT #32 / HT #33 [Handle to left, or in middle]


HT #32 / HT #33 [Ear points to first L, or to second L]


HT #33 / HT #34 [EXPERIMENT, or FINANCIERING]


Could do better, but those are the main points (there are others) to look for. :)
