Default 3 probable fakes?

I have these three in the "suspect" drawer, I think they are fakes but was wondering if anyone else has any comments?

Hi,

The Welsh has a nasty die fault, the Irish has sausage fingers and a modern slider. I don't like them, personally. I don't know about the last one.

The KDG is fake. The lack of an open back or 2 oval brasing holes and the shape of the 'points' on the front are the tell-tales of the fake die.
