Given they are also white-breasted, they may be just single-factor yellow-back. If so, pairing them to white-breasted as advised would produce roughly half each of white-breasted yellowbacked (SF) (hens) and WB green backed (cocks) if these 2 are both cocks.

If they are white breast sf yellow cocks and get paired to white breast normal hens, they will produce white breast sf yellow cocks and white breast normal cocks . Hens should be white breast yellow and white breast normal.
