Need info & opinions on Thai Buddha's

I spent the late 1950's in Bangkok as a child. I am finally getting around to making a detailed Inventory of items I inherited from that great period in my life, and would like to be as accurate as possible.
I think the top two are:

Standing Buddha _ Rattanakosin Period
Abaya Mudra

Sitting Buddha _ Ayutthaya Period
Dhyana Mudra

The bottom two are probably copies, but older copies.
I have never seen the hand with rings!

I have many other figures I have picked up at auctions and on eBay, but I don't want to take more time or space than is appropriate. Any information including (or not) value, will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Brian.

I would say the sitting Buddha on top would be early Rattanakosin Period also. I lived there for 13 years, more recently than you, but I'm not an expert. All four are very nice pieces!

Standing Buddha _ Rattanakosin Period
Abaya Mudra
THIS ERA...BUDDHA WELL DRESS AND DECORATED ...RANGE 200YEARS AS 9 KINGS REIGN TILL PRESENT

Sitting Buddha _ Ayutthaya Period
Dhyana Mudra
AYUTTHAYA ...BUDDHA ROUND SHOULDER, FIGURE ALSO ROUND AND RANGE 400YEARS MINIMUM

SUKHOTHAI...BUDDHA SLIM AND LONG FINGERS ... EASY TO SEE 3 DIFFERNT ERA

STANDING BUDDHA REPRESENT SUNDAY....SITTING NOT SURE IF MEAN TUESDAY...

ANYWAY IS GOOD....
