Ah ok, on the girls the edges of the anal scutes, and the seams between the anal and femoral scutes, make more of a dome shape, and on the boys they make a pointier 'tent' shape? Or am I just making stuff up?

I know a fool proof way.
If they lay eggs then there is a good chance they are female

The darker one is a Testudo graeca ibera and the yellow one is T.g.terrestris.
