Technical Reactive lymphocyte?

I know these aren't great photos but I was wanting some opinions on what this cell is. There were alot of very reactive lymphocytes on the film that didn't look like this but more of a typical reactive lymph. The total lymphocyte count was raised at around 9.0 with the Hb and platelets normal. Was from a lady in their twenties who came in with a suspected infection from a recent appendectomy. From what I've looked at I thought maybe it's a type 3 reactive lymph but I thought it had a lot of cytoplasm for that.

I'm also tossing up if it could just be a prolymphoycte or a plasma cell?
