I now have no clue as to how to identify, let alone buy these items.

Tell-tale signs that yours is a type 3 are: editing notation and marks in the back. Part of the actual newspaper clipping is glued to the photo. International News Services is handwritten. Though not an original photo, it has value because it is contemporary to the time when the photo was taken.
Type 1 photos usually have : 1) a stamp of name of the Photographer/ News Agency in the back, 2) the date when the photo was received. This is usually, but not always, stamped, 3)A stamp of the name of Newspaper/ Library that owned the photo, 4) if from a newspaper, there may be a “slug” which was caption used under the photo by the paper.
