Hi,
All three of your tortoises look like Hermanns tortoises, Testudo hermanni. If you could post plastron (bottom shell) pictures we could tell for sure and tell subspecies.

You have a very discerning eye, Dan. I don't know anything about the Med. species of tortoise...they're all "greek" to me!! And I can only recognize a Hermanii when I see the spur on the tail.
