Is this an Ameraucana?

I’m now curious .. my other cockerel Peter, would you say he is an olive egger? He has yellow foot bottoms and as he’s gotten older he’s grown some of the same brown red feathers as Artie but only right around his comb, it’s not noticeable unless you’re looking.
The last photo is from back in the beginning of July, Peter (right) is standing by the cockerel I gave away that was developing a lot slower than him and Artie. It’s a good photo that shows the white feathers around his face and the difference in their leg colours. Thank you everyone :love

EDIT: OE to Olive Egger

I don't see anything Old English about either bird. They are very good looking! I do think that the color could come from the brown red Ameraucana, if there's one in their pedigree, or from the black copper French Marans/ EE, making them maybe olive eggers, if they happen to pass on that egg color. Who knows?

I bought 7 Ameraucanas as chicks but as they got older this one looks different from the others. His body shape and feathers are different from the other 2 cockerels I had out of the bunch. They were hatched Easter weekend, but she said this one and one that turned out to be a pullet we’re a week younger. It does look like he has a slight beard you can see best in the first photo but I just don’t know :confused:
Thank you in advance!!

Sorry I meant Olive Egger when I said OE. I edited the post to change it so no one gets confused
