Are these White Crane postures?

[TopCrusader]

Hello everyone!
I ran across some pictures of a young Bruce Lee (circa 1963) in various poses and was wondering if these look like White Crane kung fu? I know many styles have long-arm techniques but I dont know enough about those arts to rule anything in or out. If you dont think these are White Crane postures, please let me know what you think it might be if its at all possible to guess. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. In the first pic, the crouching one...any idea what the purpose of that move is?

You use your back hand to control your opponent's arm. You use your leading hand to strike your opponent's body.

without seeing how he got into that position, its hard to tell. he could be doing a sweep. he could be parrying a strike while leaning away. it could be the beginning of another technique. I can't tell if he has a palm or dragon hand there. but like i said unless i can see how it came to be, its just guess work.
