Identifying 1904-1911 Lather Catchers

I have been in the market to try out some of these Ever Ready Lather Catchers from the 1900s. The market can be confusing as sometimes these razors are offered for cheap and other times they are highly priced. Different people are calling the same version of the razor by a different year. For example, a vendor called the middle one in the top row as being the 1907 one while another vendor stated it was the 1905 version.

At times, you may come across these razors in their original boxing with the AD paper. But those items do not indicate which year it is from. Now it may not seem like a big deal to categorize exactly which year the razors are from. But according to the posts of various B&B members, the razors do not shave alike. Some are smoother than the others, while others are more aggressive.

There is an image shared within the forums, perhaps from an AD, which shows the head designs from 1904-1911. Does anyone know definitively, within the image below, which one is which?
