Agree with Paul and TWM except possibly for the individual facing left near the left side of photo 5. Its head, muzzle profile and eye position looks a bit more Grey than Common to me, but it might just be due to the angle at which it is lying. Maybe if it rolled upright and held its head level its profile would look more like Common.
