The ones in the pic are definitely tulips. It won't really matter, as long as you tie ribbon or string round the stems [different colours for each bulb type] or label them clearly once they flower, so that you know which are which. Then you can go from there when you later pot them up or plant them out.

I remember reading about somewhere that planted their ‘old’ tulips e.g. ones that had finished flowering in pots, in the lawns and they came back each year it was a complete mixture of colours and looked amazing!
Don’t think my few stragglers will look like that 🤣
I've been doing that today planting last year tulips in the veg bed not to many about 75 , I'll dig them out when they are done and bin them unless they are still a good size.
There are tulips which reliably return- mainly the species ones, but I'd never put them in a lawn. Any of the less reliable types get planted in borders here, but I don't expect to get very many coming back. Conditions don't suit. Hope you get some flowers though @*Astrantia*. If you've planted daffs, they should be fine, unless they're damaged/rotten, or there are young offsets which are too immature to flower.

Planting Narcissus now is fine they may flower a little later but not a problem. Tulips should be planted Nov/Dec when the soil is colder. In very wet soil they need grit worked into the soil as wet winters are becoming a problem with them rotting.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
I never plant tulips direct in borders, even in my raised beds @GardenerSuze, for that reason. Too wet and cold for them to thrive. Only the ones I've had in pots, as I described earlier, because I only get one or two in subsequent years. The species ones are much better for me. The daffs will be fine, as @punkdoc has said @*Astrantia*. If they're healthy and mature enough, they might even flower a little this year. Otherwise, should be fine for next year.
Always a few good bargains to be picked up if you're canny. I've often done that, especially when starting with a blank canvas garden, which I've done several times

December 2021 I planted over a hundred N Cotinga which were reduced. I kept checking as there was no sign of them when most others were starting to flower. I finished up with a lovely display but they were just late.
Late November I planted T Ballerina there is just one part of my garden I can grow them in the soil but I am not that confident that they will do well as we have had a lot of rain. Hope to move later this year a new garden will bring more challenges!
I have made the mistake of moving Galanthus in autumn not a good idea, no flowers the following spring.

May I suggest ... planning.
PS to other posters. Why are my Tete-a-tete only multi-headed the first season?
