Are these Jersey Giants?

Hi! I have a bit of a conundrum.
You see, back in early May I purchased 8 day old chicks. 6 were supposed to be straight run Jersey Giants and 2 were supposed to be Mystic Marans hens. I could not tell them apart, but figured once they'd grown it would be easier to tell.
The trouble is, now that it's easier to tell, I can only tell that 2 are roosters. Of course, they should be Jersey Giant roosters then right? But they don't look like any black Jersey Giants I've seen. I'm relatively certain the rest of my flock are hens, and they all look the same to me, so trying to figure out what is what is not making a lot of sense to me at the moment!

I have no idea what breed they are, but they are not Jersey Giants. One is a frizzle of some sort, and the other may be a Marans cross of some sort.
I was pretty sure they weren't Jersey Giants. I'm thinking maybe the non-frizzle is a Black Copper Marans?
 
I'd say the smooth feathered bird is a Marans mix. The other is likely a mix of a few things.
