Identify these microphones ?

Can someone positively identify what microphone or microphones these are? The screenshots were taken from a LIVE video of a hard rock band from the mid 1980's. I think they could all be the same mics, but not sure because of the different angles and three of the band members had mics, so I suppose it's possible. At first, I was thinking they were just Shure SM58 mics, but then I thought one might be some type of Beyerdynamic or whatever. I really loved the LIVE sound of some 80's singers. It was always so warm and clean, but I realize there were probably other mixing factors involved. It's almost as if the electricity was cleaner too..

They do certainly look like Shure SM58s. That's as much as I can say.
My solo projects:
Hekkräiser (experimental) | MFG38 (electronic/soundtrack) | The Santtu Pesonen Project (metal/prog)

they look like 58s and everyone and their dogs where using them live and still do. sound good and can take a beating being transported, so they're fairly common.

There's a lot of "SM58-like" - and outright fake - mics around, too, of course.

Not sure (*cough*)... Definitely around by the mid-90s, maybe not the mid-80s.
