I think that right hindwing looks like E. bispinaria, and left hindwing like E. excursaria.

I think its more likely E. bispinaria because of the 'dotted' effect along the hindwing main line and the the slight 'kick up" at the end of that line at either end where it meets the hindwing costa. See here:
