Are these hens RIRs or RIR mixes?

This pullet, Millie, idk what she is she was unlabeled when I got her, I think she has yellow skin. (Either very light yellow or white.)

She has black under color a few months ago but now it's kinda gone away.

This hen, Regno, is 4 years old and was labeled a RIR. She has yellow skin.

But then this hen has white skin, different colored legs, and was also labeled as a RIR.

I'm so confused XD
 
The first one looks like it could be a RIR mix, the second one looks closer to a production red, which is similar to a RIR but is bred for high egg production and isn't pure RIR.
The first one is not an RIR. The second one, I not sure what she is but have a production red and she looks nothing like her. I've seen some on here that look similar but I don't think that's what she is.

Yes, I agree; I said the first one looks like a RIR mix. The production reds (often labeled RIRs) I've gotten or seen from the feed store look pretty similar to that second hen, but since production reds not bred to a breed standard they are likely to be variable.
