Are these dendrobaenas?

Hi
I'm quite new to operating a wormery. A few months ago I decided to setup a small homemade single bin system. Because it was so small, I bought the worms from a local fishing tackle shop having been assured they're dendrobaenas. I've been learning as i go along (mainly from watching YouTube videos) and decided my small homemade system was not going to do the job that I needed it to do.
Over the weekend I ordered a three bin (housing only) system with the intention of clearing my homemade effort out and transferring the worms and topping up as necessary. I have now done this and am surprised to see how few worms I actually have (I never checked what the shop gave me!) but at the same time also surprised at the number of cocoons I have .
The only thing I am not sure about is whether or not they are actually dendrobaenas. I have attached a photo of some of the worms and cocoons in the hope that someone who knows more than I do (not difficult!) is able to confirm their identity.
Your help would be much appreciated.
