I got the other 1948s identified but these two don't seem to match either picture in coinsandcanada.com. Are these the A to small denticle variety?

1948 has 3 A varieties: A to denticle, A off denticle, and A to small denticle.
1949 has only 2 A varieties: A to denticle and A off denticle.

I'm trying to determine whether this is the A to small denticle variety.

1st A to denticle
2nd A to small denticle 90% sure, as circ and handling has made it tougher to compare. IMO.

#2 (bottom pic) is the small denticles variety...

My 2013 Charlton catalogue has the 3 different 1948 denticles The 2 coins in these pictures are small denticles as they have space between the denticles. See Charlton catalogue.

So out of the 20 1948s I grabbed from the bin only 1 was a small denticle. My Charlton is outdated (1996) and I haven't found the (more recent) version which I want yet.

I recently brought out my 1948 circulated pennies I had stored since the 60s to go through. There were 16 rolls and the count was
11 rolls--a to large dentical
3 rolls a between denticals
2 rolls a to small denticals
I have approx. 50 1948 pennies in 2x2 that are errors and varieties.
