I don't think the first fern frond is bracken because it tapers in top and bottom. Bracken fronds tend to be triangular in shape. It would be a lot easier to identify the fern if you could show the plant the fronds were taken from. Bracken is very distinctive because it isn't a 'shuttle cock' fern, where all the fronds grow from a single point. It has single leaf stems with fronds growing out almost horizontally like eagle's wings, hence its botanical name Pteris (Fern) Aquillinum (Eagle like).
