It looks like an orange and broken orange and a broken sable or broken sable point.

The sable color on a sable point is much darker on its head than it is on the rest of its body. I have only seen sable points in pictures though.
I think that you did good on the pictures. It so much harder to tell the coloring on Romeo because he has so much white.

Let us know what colors you get! The other one does look like a blue otter.
Are you going to show?

That's a blue otter? I have a mini lop that I thought was a blue otter, but he's MUCH lighter than this one.

You do not have to have any papers on them to show.
