Hmmm. That's funny

Here are two images of birds we have tentatively identified as Taimyr Gulls (Larus fuscus taimyrensis) 10 February 2019. Choshi--Choshi Outer Port, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. However some literature says that Vega Gulls from the western part of their range can have yellow legs. Is it possible to tell which these are? Thanks.
