Are the tips of their tails white? If so they could be eb whites.
No matter what they're ebony carriers since the mom is an eb. But with the dad being a white they look like they could lighten up into a eb white as they grow.

What color are their bellies?

If they've both white bellies, they're standard possible ebony carriers. The one on the right, if a belly the same color, could be a light TOV ebony!
Silverfall chinchillas has a calculator on their websight that shows the possibilities!

I believe that even if they have a white looking belly they can still be a white. Many whites come out looking standard but lighten up with age.

See this post as an example

I'm not a breeder so I'm not an expert on colors, I just know what I've read. But perhaps they are just standards, I've just seen babies that look like standards with white tipped tails that turn into whites.
