Well... not something specific... But on the whole - they are pretty massive, noisy and agressive, and my kids cannot play with them. The males bother the chickens sometimes... and they make the yard very dirty. I wanted small ducks that dont grow much, which he promised me these two are. But from what you have written, I understand I have Muscovy again.... Maybe these two are females? So less noisy and less agressive... I hope...
I also really can't image muscovy being loud. I have 8 muscovy and 20 mallard derived breeds. The mallard derived breeds are super loud! There are quiet individuals and others that like the sound of their own voice. All my neighbors know I have ducks. However I am not sure who is messier, but I feel like the mallard derived breeds are. The mallard derived ducks tend to dig holes in the mud with their bills creating a tripping hazard.

Those look like they are likely going to be solid chocolates.
