I agree on the comments said of the 1939's.

• Top left 1939 is a Souval
• Top right 1939 is a fake
• Bottom left 1914 is an original KO
• Bottom right 1914 is a fake

[Eklipse]

I agree.
Top left, Souval, very possibly postwar made.
Low left, original 1914 iron cross, with a ver common core used by the mayor makers (Johann Wagner und Sohn, K. Münzamt Abt. Orden, and so on)...look for a tiny maker mark stamped near the catch.
Low right seems to me postwar, but check it in the Imperial foum.

The original Imperial on the bottom left is for sure a KO.
Frame, core and setup combo of this kind is only found on KO's.
