Pullets or cockerels?

Both are about three weeks old. Breed is RIR with maybe 25%-50% cream legbar. The comb color makes me think pullet but I've seen them fight a bit already and the darker one was really friendly when he/she hatched.

They are still too young to tell.

Too young to tell yet. Post some updated pictures when they are 5-8 weeks old.

I see them already fighting with each other. Do pullets do that? I had a batch of chicks with two cockerels and three pullets and the cockerels didn't even start fighting until they were 8-10 weeks old.

Yes they will. Both male and female chicks need to determine their place in the pecking order.
