Please help to correct identifications...

[Vinch]

Hello !!!

At first, sorry to write into english, because I'm french and I don't practise dutch !
From a french forum devoted specifically to zoos, a german friend visited Baltimora National Aquarium, USA, and came back with many photos. He needed any help for correct identification about several australian turtles species.
So, maybe you would be able to name this species.

Thank you very much per advance !

In Baltimore National Aquarium, a very big collection of australian water turtles is exhibited.
But I'm not able to find enough informations on species distinction of genus Elseya, Emydura and Macrochelodina

1 + 2/ Macrochelodina rugosa (or M. expansa)?




3/ Maybe Elseya latisternum?


4/ Elseya dentata?


5 + 6 + 7/ Emydura australis in different colorations?






8/ Emydura subglobosa?


9/ Emydura tanybaraga?


10/ Emydura krefftii?


11/ Emydura victoriae?


12/ -  One of these above species or Chelodina siebenrocki


Thank you very much !
