I think you should never have asked the seller to break up the lot. As the buyer, you owe it to the seller, and to your own conscience to take...
Wow . . . nice photos.
I have long collected and dealt in cameo proofs between 1950 and 1970. I have also had differences with the grades / attributions sometimes...
