The second aircraft is a BE2. Note the rack for the spare ammo drums under the sill of the observer's cockpit. Presumably he had to grab a spare drum and turn around to reload the angled machine gun while the pilot tried to engage/evade the enemy. Must have made for some interesting experiences. Hope the observer had a tether!
The top two are F.E.2bs. Note the different styles of undercarriage.
Yes, placing the observer in front of the pilot and under the top wing perhaps wasn't the smartest move! B.E.2e, I think.
