Anyone know why in the second video (side plane view of solar system), they show 4 separate items moving out into deep space? I could pick Voyager 1 and 2, but no idea what the other 2 probes are?

Probably Pioneer 10 and 11.

Ah - thank you - Pioneer 10 and 11 makes sense!

Pioneer 10 and 11 maybe?
