my guess is GC'S across the board,middle might be MED,one on right is close to a top lot IMO, I's GC-1-2 guess.

Please define your term, "Pale"... by what definition? There's the NAFA catalogue, then there's the rest of the world. In the NAFA catalogue you will only see the "Top Lot" with a pale description attached and accompany 8-12 skins which vary in coloration from sale to sale depending upon which fur grader assembled the lot.
In the rest of the world, an A-B western heavy Canadian/USA coyote is generally deemed pale. Read the fur market reports, references to "...pale western goods..." is a broadly used term.
