Hi Jane-Suffolk
Your images may not have made it onto the gallery yet. If they have you may need to let us know which section they are in, etc.
If there is a large area of marking on the hog it seems likely that it is artificial.
I wrote some suggestions a while back to help with natural identification. You may already have seen them, but in case not, they might give you some more ideas of things to look out for. https://www.hedgehogstreet.org/forums/topic/identifying-hedgehogs-from-their-natural-markings/
It can be made harder identifying hogs by their natural markings if someone in the area is artificially marking them, but sometimes still possible.
Good luck and happy hog watching.
