The Beatles - genuine or not UPDATED

Hi - I just found this on the internet. The seller says these to be genuine. There are so many real Beatles experts here, so I'm counting on your judgement. Thanks!

The seller company says that they are having another Beatles item as well. They say that these two were signed at the same occassion and that they also signed, for some reason, their "silly" names. I have never seen the silly ones earlier. Could the story really be true - the handwriting looks the same.

the Ringo and George look fine to me, as long as its not a copy. The Paul looks off, especially the last name, and not sure what to make of the scribble that is intended to be John.

there is a squiggle that I assume is intended to be Lennon. when I enlarge this, the Ringo does look a bit labored, but the Harrison looks fluid. Ballroom, is the Harrison one of those known forgery styles that you have referenced in the past?

It doesn't look like a forgery style to me. The Paul is unusual and the Ringo does show some hesitation, but after enlarging it I think it could be an odd authentic set.

could be. Why would a forger do so well with the Harrison and Starr and then come up with that squiggle for Lennon. I believe I have seen Lennon sign like once or twice before.
