I know it is too early to tell for sure but I am seeing two distinct crest feather shapes out of the 4 chicks and wondering if anyone has an idea if these shapes could indicate gender and whether it looks like I have 2 of each?

Crest shape doesn't mean much until they start to get their adult feathers in my experiences. None of my females developed any combs or wattles until recently at around 5 months. So watch for comb development.
 
Agreed crest shape doesn’t mean much unless they are moving into their adult molt with streamers showing. With non-bearded breeds watch for wattles, but from the polish cockerels I have had their wattles popped up before 4 weeks so I am leaning towards all pullets for yours.
