Its hard to tell cause of the pics. If the genital is heart shaped, female, if its a perfect oval, male. The small semi circle shaped spots above the pectines ( the "combs" on the bottom) You took the picture of the right spot, the pics are just unclear.

guess: #2 and #3 look male (quite sure about #2), #4 female. #1 is too hard to see.

See: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2008/03/20/sexing-pandinus-imperator.html for how it looks with a female ("fly's head", or heart shaped).

i would have to say female, male, male, female, but is hard to say on the first and 3rd ones, first iis rather grimy on the plastic, and 3rd, it looks like there one lil speck of sand in the perfect place that could be hiding the point of a heart shaped opening.

hard to tell, try to get a straight on shot instead of an angle shot, I personally prefer to go off the pectines rather than the oval/heart shapes.

But educated guess by purely going off pectines from the angle fuzzy pics is female, female, male, male like you said in your post.
