Chinese Big Headed Turtles

Any other information on these guys? Age, sex, is shipping included? They all look like adults but the last 2 picture angles are a little weird. Any additional info helps. Thanks.
 
Yes, old pics but turtles look exactly the same but a little bigger now. If interested, I can send updated pics but several local people want the whole lot so they will be able to see them in person. That said, they are technically sold, but if they do not sell, I will post current pics. Is that answer sufficient enough for you?
 
I believe I have two males and two females but not 100% positive. The two largest have slightly concave plastrons and thicker tails. The two smaller have completely flat plastrons
and smaller tails. I don't know for a fact if these are sex determiners for this species. I've had them for about 9 years. Shells are around 5 to 7 inches. When I first got these the shells were 2 3/4 to 4 inches.
 
I hope you all realize that it appears, unless the taxonomy has recently changed, that you are dealing with 2 subspecies here, Platysternon, megacephalum m. and P. m. peguense?
 
Regardless if they're two subspecies or not, it doesn't deminish the value of each turtle. That said, they are sold and no longer in my possession
