They look like it to me! The spines are really big, so there might be some Peruvian torch DNA in there too, but it's probably best to wait for someone more experienced to answer.

Looks predominantly Bridgesii. I would call it a Bridgesioid.

That scarred area will be fine as the cactus grows. Nice score!

I believe they are Peruvians.

Yeah the spines and the rib profile are definitely Bridgesii in character. Those cacti are mostly or completely Bridgesii.

the more I look at the pictures and read various identification guided the more I get confused. one quote on other forum got me:
Quote:
I would say that the easiest way to be able to accurately identify these species is to look at as many pics as you can find. After a few thousand pics, you'll be able to easily tell the difference:)
now i'm thinking this might be "Trichocereus cuzcoensis X Trichocereus bridgesii". Anyway, I am happy you are agree these are Trichocereus family!

Def bridgesii. 
Nearly everything on these cacti points to bridgesii. Overall shape, rib count, rib form, color, areole distance, spination look, spine length, spine count, .. all typical bridgesii.
But .. these plants are infected with mealy bugs. I see some in the pictures. It's the small white bugs in between the ribs and on the tips. Kill them fuckers with q-tips and pure ethanol, or iso-alcohol.

For the few on these plans, alcohol and Q-tips should do well.
For scale, I personally use a three hit combo of cold pressed neem oil (properly stored), either liquid or dustable sulfur, and pyrethrins. It will probably kill mealy bugs too. I'm currently out of pyrethrins but hopefully neem + sulfur does the trick on some spider mites just starting up.
Selective use of systemics on non-flowering and non-tricho cactus would probably help with pest management. Preferably granulated so its not blowing all over the place.
