      These look interesting: straight tusks and roundish ears. Anyone think they might be cyclotis?

      I would have to say the three elephants do resemble L. Cyclotis rather than L. Africana... The round ears and tusks are the give away. Upon further research I found they originated in Togo... Which to my knowledge is not a range country of savanna elephants, but is incredibly close to if not a part of the forest elephant range.

      On elephant.se they are listed as African bush but on elefanten-fotolexikon they are listed as forest.

      making them half of the entire captive population (out of range countries) the other 1,2 being in Japan.
