Edmontosaurus Metatarsals digit question

Recommended Posts

This two Edmontosaurus metatarsals are for sale from a seller I trust however they were unable to tell me which digit of the foot that these come from. Would anybody be able to actually tell the digit from the 1966992678_s-l1600(4).thumb.jpg.91b0ea5e0b4e85e5d0aae4186981eca7.jpg?

2nd picture looks to be #3.  I'll go look up my Ed foot-bone data to see about the other.

I may be wrong, that looks a little more like MT2 and MT4, which sit on the sides of MT3.  More pictures will definitely help.
