All have mixed coloring. The first pullet is closest to black breasted red. She is not golden duckwing. The second pullet is similar to blue breasted red. Neither of them are really right for those colors, though.

The first cockerel isn't right for any standard color variety. He's blue with red leakage.

The OEGB looks more like a Japanese bantam with his tail carried so high and his yellow legs. His coloring is not any standard color, either, but mixed. There is no other term for it.
 
Now that I've looked at phoenix breeders websites I think your probably right about all there colors. The cockerel might be a dunn but since the feathers have black in the middle it's probably just a blue/red. The first pullet is probably black breasted red, second must be a mix of the dunn and BB red. Thanks.
Hmmm I didn't know Phoenix came in dun, but that is a good possibility. Yours are pretty chickens. I like the colors. I bet the male will be beautiful when he's in full adult plumage.
 
Golden is the same as golden duckwing, which she isn't, in my opinion. Golden hens are silvery with brown mixed in. Their neck feathers should be pale with black stripes down the middle. First picture is golden, second is BBR. You decide for yourself which yours is, I am just offering my opinion.

Hello I have 3 Bantam Phoenixes from eggs I ordered off eBay that I am having a hard time finding the varieties for. The seller had listed them as Dunn, Black Breasted, and Silver. They are 5 months old and they might be a black breasted red, I'm not sure?

This pullet I think is a Golden

This cockerel I think is a black breasted red which means I won't be able to show it

View attachment 2719609View attachment 2719620View attachment 2719622Also I have a Bantam Standard (book) and in it lists Phoenix variety of 'light brown', but internet searches don't show any results for this variety. Does anybody have any info on it? Thanks.
Looks like a golden and two black breasted reds with dun. I’m not sure if the bbr/dun variety has a specific name. You may want to ask some of your questions on this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/pheonix-thread.1350166/.
