I agree with your ID's for #1 and #3. I'm not sure about #2 and #4.

As a fellow novice guller (i.e. don't listen to a word I'm saying...), I'd say 4 is a LBBG. The mantle looks too dark for YLG.

I think 4 is LBBG as well, it's a bit difficult though as it's not quite as dark as a normal LBBG but not light enough to be a YLG in my eyes so I'd just say a LBBG

I think you're right with all except #4. I agree with the others the mantle looks more LBBG to me.
