Hello, I am wondering about these two axes. I believe that they are Connecticut pattern. I got both of them from the big auction site without any thought as to what the pattern was. After reading some threads about Connecticut pattern axes, I decided that I would like one, but they are not exactly abundant(even on the auction site). I then realized that I already had these. I would just like verification that these are or are not Connecticut pattern axes. I'm mostly unsure about the plumb. I believe that the trutemper kelly is indeed a Connecticut. Thank you in advance for any information and once again, please pardon my ignorance

Connecticut is 5 1/4" more or less across the sharpened edge. The convex poll is also a characteristic. The other could be a wide bit Dayton pattern.
 
Or western crown, or something else. There are oddballs that defy all the common patterns... Looks like one of them.
 
The plumb also has a convex poll. The cutting edge is 5 3/16"
