Ian,
The pictures are very dark and unclear, maybe if you have a location from origin, but i am not to knowlegeable on Trilobites.

Indeed, the quality of the pictures is not sufficient to spot finer details.
Since I think (but correct me if I'm wrong) that all these specimens represent the same genus of even species, and come from the same locality, we could do with just a couple of clear and sharp pictures of a good specimen.

Chances are big that your trilobite is to be situated within the order Phacopida (of that I'm sure), and either superfamily Dalmanitoidea or Acastoidea.
