The balloon and above-title display lettering on #55 is by Ira Schnapp. The balloon and above-title display lettering on #89 is by Gaspar Saladino. Neither of those look particularly like the interior lettering we debated before, at least in my memory, and Schnapp rarely did interior lettering during his time on covers, but if someone wants to do a direct side-by-side comparison...
