Can you tell me if this is a Flemish?

So I bought two does from a lot at the auction today.. They were labeled as Flemish Giant does, but with no age or anything. When I got home I realized that they look slightly different. The one has bigger ears and a slightly longer face like my other Flemish so I have no reason to doubt that's what she is. The other one however, has slightly shorter ears, plusher fur and a rounder face. Neither have the rolls under their chin yet so they're clearly younger, but I'm wondering if the second doe is either young or a different breed entirely

Any thoughts?

Have you double checked the sex on these? This one has a jaw shape that makes me think "buck" but of course I'm no where near 100% telling sex by jaw shape.

I'd say not Flemish or at least not 100%.
 
She looks like a doe to me (at least in the first picture). I think her ears are too small and her face too refined to be flemish (or at least pure flemish). She almost looks like a palomino at first glance.
 
Darn. I knew once I saw her up close that she didn't look quite right. Everyone seems to have great luck at the auction and I got a dud :shock:

This red one is the other doe I got from the auction and I believe she actually is a Flemish - albeit probably a younger one..

I'm assuming the two that you're talking about are the two fawn/red ones, correct? I bought the black one from a breeder so I'm hoping that's not the one you're referring to, otherwise I'm hooped!

I did think that the first one from the original post reminded me a lot of my NZW rabbits. Someone also suggested that she could be a palomino?
