Default Sanke or Showa?

Newbie in Koi keeping. Would like experienced hobbyists give some comments on my virgin purchases

Is this consider a Sanke or Showa? Only 12cm and very much a baby



And a 13cm Kohaku. I like the body mass, not too much knowledge on the patterns though. Appreciate some feedback.

Any potential in these 2 pcs?

Hey Bro, nice to hear from you. How's your pond getting along?
May be a bit too small to tell. Should be able to see better when it grows to 20-25cm.
