There some things the the green signature not seen in the others you posted. Right now I am coming up with two different hands on those I don't have the Photo program I used to and can't adjust angle, but the form of the "C" and the letters after it are interesting.

My green one, the 5x7 you posted and one from RR:

BTW Eddy thanks for finding an example with an "M" and also such clean looks into negative spaces.

I have not studied Crawford enough to make a comment on the signature. I will pass on in what it's worth department about the photograph. Years ago, an experienced collector said that 5x7 prints of big-name stars (not character actors etc.) were something to be a bit wary of. Now, there were probably some collectors that bought the smaller ones to send in the mail. Obviously, the main thing is to look at the signature, but in the past, I have noticed some big names on that size I knew were secretarial.
