Need full, clear plastron (bottom shell) pictures to tell subspecies, but #2 looks like T.h.hercegovinensis.

It's to do with the shape of the anal scutes, the first one has a straight edge at the top.middle two are curved and the last one looks somewhere in-between to me but dan has lots of experience so I'm sure he will be able to sex your torts.
