The one the right? Nope, those vertical stabilizers with their swept-back
leading edges are diagnostic of a Halifax B.I or an early B.II.

From the shape of the nose of the aircraft in the distance on the left,
that, too, is a Halifax.
Your next picture is of the same two aircraft, just moments later, as can
be told from the letters on the fuselage of the landing aircraft, "X-KN"
from 77 Squadron of 4 Group, RAF, which flew Halifax B.IIs out of
Elvington in North Yorkshire.
