I would say toumeyana as that's the biggest of that type and has the longest leaves and those look quite big, too big for bella but the clue according to Greg Starr is to wait until they flower, otherwise it's quite hard to tell!!

That's what I thought but good to check. They are like needles.
I dislike unlabelled plants but have quite a few of them with faded or missing labels.
It seems to be the thinness of the leaves that helps them survive, some of my really fleshy leaved agaves really suffered when a fuse blew during a cold snap. Also some with extreme variegation got 'frosted' more on the yellow sides than green section.
