Yes, those all appear to be European resistors.  US and Japanese
general-use film resistors normally have beige epoxy overdip and a
four-band code where the fourth is gold for 5% tolerance (silver for
10 and no band for 20, which essentially doesn't exist in film
resistors).  First two are significant figures and the third is a multiplier.

In US practice small axial-lead inductors usually have an
aqua-colored body, but it's usually molded.
