Are these pork butt shoulder cuts or picnic?

Just looking at the bone structure was I sold a picnic cut? My past pork butts had a blade bone.

They look like picnic's to me, but also look smokin hot!! \:D/Nice job!XL BGE, 22" Weber Red Head, Fiesta Gasser .... Peoria,AZ

Looks like you have full shoulders there but they took the skin off the picnic. Is there any skin on the closest side in the pic?

Here are pics I took before applying the rub

Brother I can clearly see the Subscapularis, Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, and the ever present brachii muscles. This ends all doubt as to what cut you have.
Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
@SGH does that mean picnic or butt or both?

How much did they weigh? If it's an XL egg they could be whole

Its an XL look at springs. I was pretty sure those are whole but SGH has me thinking he cooked an alien.
-
As I was pulling the bones from the butts I realized that they were whole shoulders. They pulled out clean. They were the best I have cooked to date.

That bark.... =D>

I really need to learn more about the anatomy of a pork shoulder.
