Those are without a doubt, Testudo graeca (Greek) tortoises.

The Greeks have random black markings on their bellies, which these tortoises clearly display.

Marinated tortoises have black triangle marks on their bellies.

@SweetGreekTorts Thanks for confirming them as Greek Tortoise! Do you know what subspecies they would be?
They look like a mix of subspecies to me. None stand out easily as one subspecies or another. Let them grow a bit to see how their coloring and patterns develop and it might be easier to determine. Do you have pictures of their parents? Did you get them all from the same place?
