The umbilical scar looks ok. If there is not any blood or drainage coming from it. If there is drainage, then you would need to isolate from the others. Don't soak for a few days and and see if the drainage will stop. Again if there is drainage keep clean and dry.
I didn't read all the posts. Has someone mentioned the tortoises will need to be split up? The reason for Speck not gaining weight. Might be because it is being bullied. Also notice if one of the torts. Is peeing or 💩 in the food or water dish.
This is not a pair, but a "clutch" of four tortoises.

I believe that separation is a very good idea at this point, pair or not. For more than one reason. Separation right now may save the lives of some of them if one or more is sick! I don't like how the bottom jaws on some of them look swollen. Reminds me of a very sick baby Sulcata I once had that died. Just my thoughts being offered here.
