Since those are all generated at the same timeframe, it's safe to assume that the others are P2PK as well.
This is really strange. The result of decoderawtransaction is "pk(0353534d9d8cdd7255dc4eeac1a2e68004c75520917b775b0655f15cf073703be8)#8plzldln", which is a compressed public key. How could compressed public keys exist in 2009? As far as I know, compressed public keys only began to be widely used around 2012.
That's a question to OP since his story and data didn't match.
I merely point out that converting it to different script types isn't necessary since the output in the screenshot is P2PK.

The gist is: If someone claimed that they got a wallet from a friend or brother, take it with a grain of salt
But do not directly say it, instead, bait some questions that can lead to them telling lies.
OP in this case, is quite negative on that despite being inconsistent.
