I think those are Campbells, but I could be wrong.

The catch is that looking like campbells isnt enough to mean they are campbells. I've seen hybrids who look like perfect winter whites or whatever... But who came from a pet shop labelled as "russians" which means that regardless of looks they've got to be hybrids.
Genes don't just show as how someone looks - a hybrid could look like a perfect winter white but the whole family could still be genetically prone to diabetes because of genes that aren't showing visibly (and winter whites aren't a species that tends to be genetically prone to diabetes - hybrids are though)

Would a hybrid still change colouring if they carried the WW genes while being hybrid anyway ??
