In July I adopted two Toulouse goslings at the age of two weeks. One looks like a true Toulouse (name is Pong) but the other (who is Peep) is slimmer, has a longer neck which is a light grey on the front and sides and dark grey on the back and top and has a white V across his/her chest. Body colour is similar but Peep's slightly lighter grey then Pong. They are just pets and bodyguards for my hens and don't plan on breeding them (if they do turn out to be a male and a female) but would like to know if Peep's just a weird Toulouse or not a full Toulouse at all. Their personalities are totally different, Pong hangs out with me, lets me touch him and honks when he sees or hears me, Peep comes for treats, likes to lie beside me but doesn't like to be touched and makes kew-kew noise when she/he sees me. The lady I got them from said they came from different Toulouse nest boxes (so not siblings) but she also raises Embden geese.

Mixes, I’m guessing Toulouse x African or Toulouse x White Chinese. I know someone on insta who has a white Chinese x Toulouse and he looks a lot like that, even has the V.
I have a classic Roman x Toulouse cross girl, she has the v too but not the darker stripe down the neck, she also has a really small chubby build like her mom “my Roman,”not tall.
The second baby looks more Toulouse other than the pink feet, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t or is a cross, they’re still babies and so their colors may change until after their first molt.
 
They are good looking. Does Pong have pink feet? It does look mixed, but I haven't owned Toulouse yet. The white on Peeps chest makes me wonder if it's pure as well.
Pong’s feet and beak are starting to turn orange like they are supposed to as are Peep’s. Pong I’m 100% is pure Toulouse but it’s Peep I’m unsure of. They are only two months old so have some growing to do.

The lady I got them from has mainly Toulouse with a few Embden but none of the others you mentioned. Their feet and bills are starting to turn orange and they still have baby fluff.
