Which one do we 'think' is the female?

I'm not really sure but I think it's the one that's on the bottom of the pile, at least that's how I think tortoises breed?

Well the larger one is definitely male, and I'd put the smaller one at about 90% male, but if you are both confident that it's a pair, more power to you. Sounds like the transaction is done already, anyways.

A tortoise mounting another tortoise is obviously not a way to determine sex. Males mount males all the time, females mount males, females mount females, etc.

In plastron pic, you can see the one on the left's tail is curled around to the right and is certainly male; it's hard to make out the one on the right, but I think you can see its (short) tail tip on the left side(?)

Correct, but that's not that short of a tail, and it's only about a 5" animal. Hermanns commonly look like females until they are about 3.5-4" length. I have a dozen here that I'm undecided on their sex at 4" size, but that one in the pic would definitely be sold as a male if it was in my hands.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I've got about 60 adult hermanns here. I'd bet good money that that animal looks a lot more "male" in a year. Not my deal, doesn't affect me.

Just to clarify, these are what we are seeing as the tail lengths?

You're probably right - the base thickness makes it seem much longer than the other by comparison than it really is.
