I believe you are correct. The four capital As, for example, all have slightly different crossbars. There are other small variations, but that’s the one that stood out to me.

The font on the 1st picture I don’t know. Looks too modern font by the alternated and terminations. Beautiful.
On the 2nd picture the script is Bitstream Shelley Andante, the gothic appears to be Engravers Gothic, also BT.
