Moi aussi.
The settings, color of material are too much the same. The low relief Parfum La Gaterrie cameos are less sophisticated work. Maybe made earlier?...
I see C as the odd woman out. A, B & D look like the same woman going by the naso-labial crease & set of the mouth, ear to the extent I can see...
