These Sicilians are from Agrigento which was a Greek area, so they should be fairly difficult to distinguish from Greeks. Anyone else want to try?

5. Greek. Maybe Pontic Greek.
6. Sicilians, the girl could be pass as Greek though.
7. She could be both.
8. Greek.
9. Greek.
10. Greek.

Half of them actually could be both, I think.

Your point is correct. They look pretty much indistinguishable! None of them looks Italic... A Greek "dialect" (actually a language mutually unintelligible with modern Greek) is still spoken by a few in the region even...

Most coastal Sicilians from Messina down to Agrigento (down the east coast and across the southwest) look Greek to me. Italic types are more prevalent in areas that received northern Italian repopulation after Moorish expulsion.

I don't know of any Greek dialect in any part of Sicily that is still spoken though. In Calabria and southern Apulia there are, though (Griko, it's called).
