Tasmanian Devils 01: 1/2 Lake Marion errors b

After splitting the stamp in a grid of 99 boxes, I took one quarter of the stamp, resulting in 25 fields.
9 fields have no flaw, but the 14 have some flaws and 2 others are quite a challange...
Grid I - A0 to E4
Some flaws do not come as a single mark, but come in combination with flaws in other parts of the stamp - together they indicate the position in the sheet.
Some flaws might not appear clearly on the stamp as the flaw is not constantly present.
Some flaws occur on more stamps, and the border frame of the watermark is needed to determine the correct position.

First the 'easy' ones.
1.xx refers to plate 1 - 2.xx refers to plate 2
In field A2/B2 we find some marks
Underneath the black triangle in the same field B2, a white spot can be seen for stamp 1.23
A white spot above the ornament on the left, a white spot in the triangular shape. (see also field B3)
When a white spot, on top of the T is seen, it refers to flaw 1.26.
flaws 1.23          -      2.20               -           1.26    
In the top border, a white spot above the T indicates flaw 2.20 (together with previous spots),
A spot abouve the S for flaw 2.14 and flaw 1.06 shows a thicker frame line between the S and the M.
  flaws 2.20          -       2.14            -         1.06                         
In field B1, flaw 2.25 shows a spot in the armpit of the ornament, downwards, in field C1 a white spot under the ornament indicates flaw 1.32, for this last one, also a white line under the T (field C3) is needed.
flaws 2.25         -            1.32            -         1.32
In field C4, under the second leg of the M, a white spot can be detected on position 1.14.
The same stamp also has a white dot in the mountains (D3).
Position 1.28 shows several white spots in the sky in field C2
flaws 1.14             -        1.14            -         1.28               
Three more fields need a closer look:
D1, shows a black spot attached to the dark green decoration : flaw 1.44
in field D2 a white spot above the mountain - stamp 2.26 and finally in field E4 there is a white spot on stamp 1.16.
flaws 1.44             -       2.26            -         1.16       
Two fields are extremely filled with flaws, B3 and B4, this will be discussed in another post.
Other flaws may be present in the indicated fields, but are occasionaly, or not present as a constant flaw.

to be continued ...
