I have what were sold to me as 3 EE, 3 BO, 2SS and 2 SLW.

I know the far left two top row are from one of the EE. The second row left was where another EE was. Stumped on the others tho.

Often when pics are posted, left becomes right, and top becomes bottom.

Are you certain that 2 of those are EE? EEs generally lay blue, green, or even pink, although some may lay brown (didn’t get the blue egg gene.)

Anyway, of the five eggs that I see on my screen, the pinkish-brown ones look a lot like those from my BO.

If you’re home Saturday, maybe you can hang out near the coop (weeding of whatever) and keep an eye on who goes in the coop for a while, checking for eggs whenever none are in there.

Here are eggs from my three, EE at top left touching my thumb, BO on top right, and Barred Rock on bottom. Your EE and BO could look different, though!

I agree your description of the rows is kind of confusing with the layout of the picture.
I have found my wyandottes have always laid a slightly lighter shade of brown than my other breeds. Not quite pink but leaning that direction. So your light ones could be from them. Also are they all laying yet? If they are just starting to lay you can do the pelvic bone check to see who is laying and who is not.
 
I agree that pictures of your pullets should help determine who is laying. The ones laying are typically bright red. Easter Eggers are harder to tell because they usually have pea combs but the combs will swell and turn red when they're POL.
