Holpias malabaricus or aimara

I think mala, but it is hard to see the stripe down the body. the colors can be variable, but most of the malas I have seen have a single stripe down their body (mine did) and I think aimairas can have multiple stripes or patchy dark spots

Likely both are Malabaricus. No aimara there.

Still looks likely mala. But not aimara.

That's the only way to tell. If unable then lean toward mala. More than 90% of wolves brought in are malabaricus.

Especially cause the patterns and colors overlap, and sometimes jaw shape can be an indicator but here are different deformities st can be extreme or slight to make one look like another
