Sorry about the mass posting (again) but I bought these at my local coin shop for cheap. Can you tell me anything about them?

All three are Japanese 50 sen notes from the WWII period. Top two are the same type, dated Year 19 of Emperor Hirohito - 1943. The date is indicated by the five characters running down at the far right, beneath the bird.

The bottom one is older, Year 13 (1938); this time the date is the five characers to the left of Mount Fuji. Interestingly, the Imperial Year date is also given; the long string of characters running down the right side of the note read "Year 2598 since the First Emperor".
