I found this just cherry picking through one of my tubs of wheat pennies. A nice spread on EPU and doubling on the wheat lines toward the rim and the tops.

This one is also Machine Doubling. The best way to see if it is a doubled die is to compare side by side with a normal coin. If it is a doubled die then the devices will be enlarged. On your images I see just Machine Doubling that reduces the devices. The best way to tell is by the dot on the EPU:

From the images I've seen so far on your coins, I don't I see any enlargement of the devices. But now with this information, you might retake the images and turn them so the devices are normal horizontal arrangement. It is easier for the brain to focus on what you have.

machine die fatigue maybe? I just don't see the typical shifting from a slide. I'm gonna put up one of my 1960 D Jefferson DDR, now those I know are a Class II & VI on the same coin.
