On the right hand side, we already see the non-postal cancel (see previous posts)
The left hand side stamp shows a cancel with a double ring.
The centre isn't empty as we see with telegraph cancels.
This usually means it's a postal cancellation

On the right hand side, again a non-postal cancel.
The first stamp shows TOK(YO) although the cancel is incomplete, and it might be a forgery, it gives the impression of being a postally used cancel.

Same story with the 5 rin stamp:
On the right hand side the typical non-postal cancel,
On the right hand side again a clean date 'AUG 25' which gives the impression of being a postal cancel - still a poor cancel to be 100% sure it's a genuine postal cancel.

The stamps above gives a better impression:
Left a postally used stamp, with a clear cancelation 'YOKOHAMA'
Right, the typical non-postal cancel

Happy hunting, if you start reviewing your (early) stamps of Japan.
