Some help with breed please

Okay, the promised update on my birds. Here are more current pictures of my bantams.

The breed of the bird pictured below still intrigues me. I don't know what it is or even what the color pattern would be. I believe it is a cockerel. 17 weeks old, and has had a good bit of color in the comb and wattles since about 5 weeks.


Below is the second bantam. I believe it is an OEGB partridge colored pullet. The picture is from a few weeks ago but the only differences are more color in the comb and wattles. And the comb has a bit more size to it. 17 weeks old. I really need another picture. I'm usually too busy petting her to take one though.



This third bird pictured is another puzzle. 17 weeks old, bantam, believed to be a pullet since the comb and wattle color only started showing in the last couple of weeks. And even with the increase in size and color on them there isn't very much. I have no idea on breed. OEGB was suggested but she doesn't carry herself like one. The bird just above when seen from the side carries herself differently....



Any thought on breed would be greatly appreciated. Am I correct in thinking picture 1 - cockerel, picture 2 - pullet, picture 3 - pullet?
 
I'll have to research up a bit to figure out what the first cockerel is, but the next pullet is a Silver Duckwing Old English Game Bantam. The last pullet is a Splash Cornish Bantam.

The boy looks like a Single Comb Nankin, to me. Second bird looks like an Old English Game. The third looks like a Splash Cornish. I believe it's a newer variety being offered by Ideal.
 
Thank-you everyone for your input. I would guess that the Buff Japanese Tail bantam or Single Comb Nankin is most likely for the young cockerel. I caught him crowing this morning. His crow sounds so tiny compared to the others. For the past couple of weeks I couldn't tell if the small crow was his or if there was a precocious younger cockerel in the coop. Now I have my answer, at least on that point.

Do any of the buff breeds look more reddish sometimes? Often I find myself doing a double check on whether the bird I'm seeing is him or one of the Cherry Egger. Especially when size isn't obvious.

Splash Cornish bantam - I'll have to research those a bit. So far she is proving to be very flighty.

So far, the OEGB pullet is proving to be my favorite. When I pick her up she will often go to sleep in my hand.

Again, thank-you.
