It is B. wattsii or B. ambiguum. While it is not growing on sandstone, it may be the latter.
The width of the fertile pinnae could possibly fit either, I think I am tending to B. ambiguum.

Aren’t you identifying the one in the background? I’m talking about the one with the long fronds or leaves in the foreground.

They are all the same.

Yes, most Blechnum have different fertile and infertile fronds.
