I can’t tell if those are small/large animals. They all look the same to me.
But I did find some differences, Have 4 of those in total, 2 have “Filled R”.
(Also the Digit 1 on the reverse is very slightly “shaved”)

Can somebody clue me in?

That’s so kind of you Brad.
BTW, I took those pics with 4.1 pix camera, just thru a regular loop.
I looked an Haffner book from 1970, she doesn't seem to mention the animals, just Berne & Tel Aviv mints.
Also that there several varieties discovered, with a request to report others when discovered (that was 40 yrs ago)

I actually seem to have 1963 Large Animals 1/2 Lira and a supposed Small Animals 1 Lira.
The Lira 2x2 is labeled 'From Mint Set' and 120 reeds'.
If you wish I will send them.
