Hi,
I'm researching red bricks to use for the dome/hearth as fire brick isn't available locally (I'm in Canberra, Australia). From my investigations, generally Australian sources say red clay brick is okay and standard, a sentiment less shared in other parts of the world. I'm not sure if our bricks are different at all.
However, I'm hopeless at telling which bricks are clay, fired, pressed. I have a few types and I'm hoping someone can help identify by looking at them

The first pictures are brick pavers from a driveway.
The next brick I'm not sure, but it's printed "Bulli 135 M"
The final pictures are what I'm pretty sure are pressed red brick (CB stands for Canberra Brick)
I've uploaded to here what I can (discarding some that don't fit the size requirements)
