It is notoriously hard to identify grasses from pictures of mowed lawns, and absolutely impossible to identify specific cultivars of grass types by pictures. To do a credible job, you have to look at the shape of the tips of the blades, the auricles, etc.

That said, the grass pictures do show a prominent mid-rib on some of the blades, and not so much on others. This says to me that your looking at a mix of more than one grass.

Pictures also can be quite misleading - I know that I have taken pictures (shown below) of my KBG monostand, and then looked at the grass and said to myself "what my eyes see and the camera sees are entirely different". Even pictures of the grass at different times of the day and sun angles are very different.

PS: that grass in the picture posted that you supplied has problems (badly ripped tips and lesions indicating disease).
