The one the right? Nope, those vertical stabilizers with their swept-back

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.

"While the Manchester was designed with a twin tail, the first production
aircraft, designated the Mk I, had a central fin added and twenty aircraft like
this were built."

Your photo posted as 08/12 does not have the ovate stabilizers of
Manchester.
