Can you ID this Oriental Poppy cultivar?

Was hoping someone could identify this oriental poppy. It recently died and was looking to replace it with an identical plant as it was a family plant, passed from my grandmother's aunt to her, both in southern MN. This being said, it was probably 80+ years old. Does anyone know what it most likely is? I'm debating between Mrs. Perry, Victoria Louise, and Queen Alexandra but would love some input! Cultivars could be eliminated if they were younger than this individual plant was known to be. Apologies for the so-so photos, it's the best we have!
Thanks!
