Don't look like embdens to me, to be honest. They are small and have a facial/head structure similar to a pilgrim. Notice the grey on their wings. High likelihood they are hybrids, though. I had what I thought was a pilgrim/embden hybrid... He was a dark-ish baby, grew to look mostly like an embden but he had some grey on his wings. Your geese look very compact for embdens, however. They really do look like male pilgrims, it is very curious indeed.
Also: I would guess both of them are female from their body shape/also head shape/general size. The goose whose wings I can see has more grey on her wings than acceptable in a male pilgrim -- young males sometimes have a grey feather or two. I really have no idea what I'd call these guys but two female embden/pilgrim hybrids are not out of the question at all.
