I've always heard that a male has a more V shaped shell at the bottom and the female has a more U shaped shell around the tail. I say the first one is a male and the second one a female. But to be sure we need to see the actual tail =P

Surprised that one most saying female has the most concave plastron compared to other which was more flat

 

[Tom]

The concavity, or lack thereof, often doesn't really express itself until they are much larger. There is a wide range of plastron variability among males and females, especially when they are young. But there is no mistaking that tiny tail and U shape in the anal scutes of post number two. Post number one looks like the anal scutes are starting to form a U, but the tail will tell the tale.
