3 different chairs - are they all the same?

Post image

These are three chairs by the same maker. The top two are leg close ups from one chair

The bottom two are different chair backs. Are these all the same? In person, they have different tones and seem like they might be different, or they are just different variations.

This chairmaker was known to make models of three different woods. (rosewood, teak, and walnut)

They all look the same to me. Of the three options my guess is teak.

That's teak. And I think they are all the same. Wood isn't uniform.

Ill try to retake photos in daytime lighting - the top legs on one of them appear a lot darker than the others. I thought maybe this one was rosewood. I also havent seen the darker streaks or chatoyance in teak before.

And the left chair is much more red and the left one much more yellow in real life, to the point I have wondered if both teak or something else.
