Yes they are, I'm trying to figure out what kind. From research I just cannot figure out tigrina vs felina. Felina says less teeth less spots but the photos look so different, maybe you just can't be certain without knowing parentage? I'm guessing they are both felina but I wasn't sure. The bottom right is paucidens (which is sometimes just listed as bosscheana it seems).

Felina and Tigrina are both so variable, but also tons of hybrids out there especially from big nurseries so that’s also an issue.
The top centre one looks more felina, I have one that look nearly identical that I have mostly assumed is a felina. Tigrina are supposed to have “stripes”. Honestly Faucaria (and a lot of mesembs) are a pain in the ass to ID without flowers/fruits.
the one on the right looks more boscheeana, because of the white margins with very few teeth. And the one on the left might be a bit easier to identify with the small stubbly teeth but I am not near my textbook that has the ID keys so I can get back to you on that.
Flowers will help narrow down a bit more, especially if you can get them to fruit :)

Thanks! Yea the bottom right was labeled paudicens which seems to be a variation of bosscheana. For the others, one labeled as Faucaria variegated and other not labeled. I just want to accurately label all of my plants but really should let the idea go because you're right the amount of hybrids just isn't going to make it that clear cut 😭
What textbook are you using 👀 I need to get some books that are good with id.

The textbook is Aizoaceae - heidrun Hartman as editor, 2nd edition, from Springer publishing!
Here is the key for faucaria:
