  6. Looks like "sandwash" between the tiles. AFAIK - It's a mixture of mortar and small pebbles which is finished with acid etching to expose the pebble surface. Very common here. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=sandwash Future issue could be with matching repairs, as the colour of the mortar and pebbles are almost impossible to reproduce.
  7. The Great Escape - "Papers please".
