Stanley Planes - Model Size?

Anyone able to assist with model/size identification? The bottom two planes are likely both Stanley, both made in Canada. One does not say Stanley, may or may not be genuine although they do look like a matched set.

Larger is roughly 14” long
Shorter is just slightly over 9” long

Cant locate model/size numbers on them. Where could I look?

The shorter one is missing the chip breaker plate.

For the curious, the third plane is a Peugeot Freres and quite old.

14" is a #5 jack plane, 9" is a #4 smoothing plane.

When the Bailey patents ran out a lot of other companies made them.

There is a lot of model specific information on Stanley planes on this web site. http://supertool.com/StanleyBG/stan1.htm
