The top rabbits looks like it could be an angora. The bottom rabbit I'm unsure about.

It is extremely hard to tell if a rabbit- or any animal for that matter, is purebred, unless you have papers etc to prove it. You will have to make guesses if you don't have any information on their parents or anything. I'm not a angora breeder, but I agree with Chickerdoodle. I don't think it would really mater if they purebreds or not if they are from a pet shop to be pets? If you want purebred rabbits, then you should really find a breeder who will be able to give you lineage papers etc, not from a pet shop.

Definitely. Rabbits like angoras are much nicer from breeders, especially if you are looking to actually use the wool. I've seen "angoras" sold by pet shops and backyard breeders, and while they may have some common traits of angora rabbits, the wool is often not a good quality, which is important in a fiber animal.

Exactly, it all depends what you are wanting them for

That is a lionhead, absolutely not an angora.

How old are these rabbits? I'm thinking the brown one is likely a cross at best.
Here was my Satin angora at ten weeks old. Very obvious the fur is growing very long:


Here's a breeder I bought Kona as a fiber quality angora from (as in, not going to breed or show the rabbit, but perfect for handspinning. You can see her babies on there, as young as four or six weeks old, you can see the fur growing much longer than a regular coated rabbit.
Keep in mind there are five different types of angora. If the person you are buying it from doesn't know what kind of angora, don't buy it from them. If they don't know even that much about angoras, they certainly aren't going to be breeding for fiber quality and temperament.
There are many Facebook groups dedicated to angoras, like this one, and this one has angoras for sale. I see pet quality angoras in the 40-60 range all the time from quality breeders who don't want that rabbit in their breeding program. I don't know if it being an angora, being able to harvest the fiber and spin it, is of utmost importance to you, but if it is you may want to check the return policy of the store.

All of the rabbits in the pictures that the OP posted look like Lionheads.
