Australorp roo or pullets?

Hiya 🙂
How's it going? I've decided to keep a couple of blue cockerels for now - maybe one of them will stay. The rest (6) have gone. However, i think I have at least 2 more. And praying only 2. Sometimes I think most are males, apart from, maybe 5 🙈 But the ones with the biggest combs are gone so it's hard to compare.
My Bresse are confusing too 🤔
What's the situation with your lot?

Here are the two suspected cockerels that I kept because of their nice lighter colour.
The first one - photos 1-3, the second 4-5 (small comb but kind of orangy tint) and the last photo is of both of them.

I just checked on my lot and I'm quite sure i have 2 more males apart from the two I kept intentionally. They looked suspicious before so I expected that. One more is questionable - small comb but bigger wattles. I should have quite a few girls though, so the hatch split would be around 50/50
