Does this look like fatiguable unilateral ptosis?

After being dismissed by 5 previous neurologists, I'm preparing for my upcoming appointment with a neuromuscular specialist by documenting my ptosis.
Today is an average day, so no extreme ptosis or anything, no flare or exacerbation, just the 'regular every day mild ptosis'.
I started with taking pictures immediately after getting out of bed, followed by pictures 7 minutes later after getting ready and making breakfast, then pictures 8 minutes later again, then pictures 1 hour after waking up. Nothing extreme, but just the normal progression during the day.
About an hour later I did an icepacktest, with cooling for 5 minutes. Half an hour later or so I did another icepacktest, again with cooling for 5 minutes.
Of course I know this isn't a clinical setting and this can't be used for diagnosis, but I did focus on same postures etc.
So my question is, even though of course this isn't extreme ptosis, does this look like the fatiguable unilateral ptosis that can be expected with MG? Do any of you recognise ptosis like this? Should I use these pictures for my upcoming appointment? If so, which of the icepack tests would be most clear?
Btw the texts are dutch, 'voor' means before and 'na' means after 😀

I also have pictures of much worse ptosis, but in those cases I didn't document the process, those are just all random pictures of moments my ptosis was bad. I'll add one as an example (not the worst, but an average example of 'bad ptosis' for me).
My ptosis always gets more pronounced when I'm tired, but is worst when I'm relaxed and lying down and for instance scrolling on my phone slightly looking down. Then my 'ptosis-eye' sometimes even nearly closes completely. As soon as I sit up and actively open my eyes, it's much less pronounced. Does anyone recognise that pattern?

As I can only upload 1 image, I uploaded them here in a document: https://ibb.co/fYTr2k99
