Beatles Signed Rugby Ball

Hello,

I have recently acquired a memorabilia collection and I have major concerns over the authenticity of ALL of it. Let's start with an old rugby ball that was purportedly signed by The Beatles sometime when they were in Twickenham. It was originally purchased from a memorabilia store in Las Vegas, Nevada. They provided their own COA (red flag?) and another LOA from Christopher Morales (another red flag?). I have one opinion that the ball was signed by Neil Aspinall. See attached pictures. Any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Did they have paint pens back then?
Sigs look fake to me.

I just checked Wikipedia and felt markers go back as far as 1910. Some guy invented a "fountain ;aintbrush" in 1926, so I guess that pens like the one purportedly used here were around in the 60's. Thanks for your reply.
