I searched a little and it looks it cannot be a whitefaced woodland sheep once they have long and muscular tails, maybe Arles merino is a better choice, however I haven't found their tails! It was probably the silliest thing I did online these days, searching sheep tails. I hope my wife won't see my browser historic!

I hadn't evem looked at their tails I was focusing on their coats, horns and general colouring. I am leaning towards the arles merino more, but it's hard to say, there are other sheep breeds that look similar.

Yes Harriet. These figures are often made without breed reference. Brands choose a picture with a good looking to make the figure. Of course there is the chance of that picture match a known breed but there are always the last details that can remove some of the original characteristics. It would be interesting to see brands identifiying them like it happens with cattle and horses, I agree.
For example, Mojo ram is based in a Swale dale sheep, but, as you know, the same moulds are working for 2 breeds on Mojo range. :)
