nr1 I believe is a female. The crecent shaped Pelvic fins, the small pectoral fins, together with body and head shape indicates this to me, even though there's more odontodal growth than a female should have ;)

Nr2 and 3 are obious males. Straight pectoral fins, large pelvic fins, lots of odontodes and broad heads.

1 - female - fat body shape, more rounded head and shorter odontodes
2 - male - pointy head - angular body shape - long odontodes as clearly male as number 3 if you ask me ;)
3 - male as above
