This link is much more complete...although takes a bit of time to figure out how to navigate thru it.

http://www.silvercollection.it/index.html

But here's what you have:

The Crown / Lion / "b" piece is from Sheffield and is dated as 1919.
The Anchor / Lion / "Z" piece is from Birmingham and is dated as 1924.
