At this stage identification beyond subfamily is speculative at best. I've raised similar to these and the eclosed adults were Pergagrapta species. I've set up a project on iNat for observations of sawfly rearing. We have been getting some good results. Still yet to decipher any visible features on larvae to identify beyond subfamily.
