Common with Design 2:
In short, the wax seal is very close to Design 5, but maintains more properties of Renoir (Design 1). This leads me to hypothesize that the design of the stamp used to make the wax seal was post-Renoir, and closely related to Design 5. But everything remains possible - maybe both Renoir and Design 5 are based on an older seal.

Common with Design 1:

Common with Design 2:
- Top of A
- Single-lobed bites out of G
- Rounded loop.
