Any opinions on what this 10 week old Golden Cuckoo Marans is? I thought it was a pullet, but now I'm not so sure!!! The eggs were purchased from My Pet Chicken and supposed to be autosexing...

If those 3 birds in the last photo are all the same age, then they are all cockerels. I don't know anything about the golden cuckoo marans but a marans with a comb that large and red at that age is, without doubt, male. Not sure what the breeding is of the other two, but again, a comb that large and red at that age has to be a cockerel, despite their darker barred colouring.

I would not have expected a marans to have yellow legs either, but that may be specific to the golden cuckoo colouring, which as I said, I am not familiar.
 
Your right, didn't see that they were purchased as eggs. If they are Golden Cuckoo Marans, they aren't auto-sexing. But shouldn't be yellow legged though. . . . Maybe Bielefelders then? They are similar in color and are auto-sexing. And have yellow legs.
