Widespread Forester for the pretty blue one, Little Pansy for the orange, one of the Amauris for the black and white (edit - thanks to Google, I think Monk, aka Dusky Friar, Amauris tartarea).

hadn' expected the Foresters to be so problematic, the West African book does not illustrate hind wing spots on any of them but I suppose that's the poblem with photographing specimens that have been dead for a hundred years.
I'll post some others which I think I've ID'd, no offence will be taken at corrections.
