Anyone have an image for the 3rd kind of "5" in the 1945 date?

What? There are different types of 1945 dates? I would love to see it. I thought there was only a small 5 and a large 5.

Harry, I was thinking of this style of 5...but it's on the 1/2 rupee Lahore mint - I cannot find a 1/4 rupee Lahore small 5

I think what you are referring to is the lettering "with serifs" and "without serifs" where the serifs is the slight pointed edges on the letters which is very apparent with the letter E, in RUPEE and the number 4. I think for the 1/4 Rupee all 1945 lettering are "without serif" and so there is only two types of dates small 5 and large 5 and both are without serif. 

The 1/2 Rupee also has a 1945 small 5, 1945 large 5 but strangely enough even though the lettering in RUPEE is without serif, you can see the date does have serif especially the 4.  Your picture shows it too.  So the 1945 1/2 Rupee date has a different font than the 1945 1/4 Rupee date.
