I don't think 4371341 and 4368447 are Epyaxa. There are similarities in the shape of the main wiggly lines/bands, but they are thicker on these records and the colouring looks different. But I didn't find them in a scan of Chrysolarentia and Melitulias.

OK, they do look somewhat more or less consistently different, I suppose. But I reckon 4368447 has quite a different line for the boundary between the first white brad band nearest the base and the first black band. There is a lot of variation in E. subidaria visible online.
