Which grips are these FH and BH grips?

What grips would these be considered?
Are there any pros currently using these grips for topspin groundstrokes?

The forehand grip is called the Semi western grip i.e. Between western forehand and continental. Back hand grip is called semi Eastern. i.e. Between eastern and continental
Interesting point: this semi eastern grip when used for a forehand is called the Australian grip (between eastern and continental)

In the photo above, the person appears to use their wrist to close the racquet face a bit.

Pretty certain the forehand grip is Eastern, and the backhand is between Continental and Eastern:

This is what a Semi-Western forehand looks like:

Hall of Fame
1. Both grips look close to continental. 2. Edberg and Mcenroe...
Both grips look continental to me as well. Mac, Edberg, and Navratilova were the last big names to use them AFAIK. No modern pro would use those grips for a fh (save a squash shot save) or topspin 1hbh, however just about every pro uses a continental for every other stroke (serve, volley, overhead, dominant hand on a 2hbh).
