Need help comparing these two Coronation Sussex pullets. Also, how does this project pullet compare to Sussex in body shape?

So, I have got some Coronation Sussex pullets, and I need to decide which ones are the keepers. Can anyone help?

1 she has got a bit of dirt on her back, she went under a tractor that got parked in the yard, and while we did try to clean her up, it wasn't that successful :(
I feel her main fault might be that she carrys her tail to low, and her back is a bit rounded.
She has just started laying, so 20 something weeks.

2 I really like this pullet, she is a little younger then the first. She also has a bit of dirt on her back.

Any thoughts anyone as to which one is closer to the standard? I think the second one is, but I could be missing something.

And my other question, is I am starting a Cuckoo Sussex project.
This pullet will be the start of it.
How close is her body type to a Sussex?
Her father is a Light Sussex x Cuckoo Orpington, and mother is a SS.
She does have a bit too much fluff from the orp, I think.
