Help with a couple of goose ID

I need help again. Took these pictures today at Stowe School in Bucks. I thought they were a male and female Grey Lag goose cross with some farmyard goose, but now I'm not too sure. In the back of my mind, I have something called a 'ne-ne' or something like that.The brown stripe down the neck is something I remember

Can you experts help please.

Thanks,

Bob P.

Thanks for your prompt responses. I've never heard of a Swan Goose let alone a domesticated form. So I'm off to browse the web for more info.

Thanks again,

Bob P.
