Because the sleeves of the dalmatics aren’t sewn closed on the bottom and the side slits above the hips I would say they look like a baroque style. The embroidered “collar” looks like it might be a type of amice, but I can’t tell if it a separate piece from the dalmatic.

Yes. They’re the so-called apparelled amices.
 
While falling generally into the Roman Style. Variations of Roman Vestments were common with the French and Italian, as well as Spanish, and Polish vestment makers producing similar vestments with some local embellishments. For example the French Vestment makers usually had a cross on the back of the Chasuble, sometimes with ornate Christological or Marian symbolism. Spanish and Italian Chasubles (outside of Rome) often had a crucified Christ, or our Lady, of Patron Saint. Whereas in Rome the Chasuble usually had two straight vertical gallons and a V shaped gallon on near the top on the back of the chasuble, and were not as ornamented as other regional vestments.

In the EF where rather than two deacons, you see a deacon and sub-deacon at a priest’s solemn high Mass and add to that two deacons at the throne for a Solemn Pontifical Mass of a bishop or Cardinal.

While these fall in the general category of Roman or French style, the fact that they don’t appear to be from the same set as the bishop is wearing, and there are no maniples that I can see, this picture was probably taken after ordination to the deaconate, in the OF.

Sadly sometimes vestment manufactures sometimes ignore church law and take liberties with their products.

I was however wrong once, so I could be wrong for the second time in my life now.
