Simon, the use the "add 21 rule" if you are in doubt. That is, add 21 to the bouldering grade to compare it with a route grade. Example, a V5 would be about the hardest move you would find on a 26 (albeit a very short and intense one).
The classic example is Sperm Bitches - a great V10 boulder problem or a poxy 30/31 route (So Saxon and James say).

AAHC should be easy to grade like this because it is almost as long a short route. Is it as hard as a 28? Nope. Is it as hard as 27? Maybe an easy one, but more like a 26. So, let's call it solid V5.

Based on that reasoning:
3 Moves V4 (cruxy 25)
Golden Streak V2 (cruxy 23)
