I'd switch #3 and #4 so it would be: 1. Football (pointed) shape with the winged horse (early 1950s?) 2. Oval with the armour helmet with feathers (early 1960s?) 3. Fiamme in a rectangle with the top line of the F running above all the other letters. (early 1970s?) 4. FIAMME in a rectangle all capital letters (early 1980s?)
