I can see the first two breeds . . . . not so much the third.
There is only about 1/16th SBT in there otherwise it would be too heavy, too much bone. He is the smallest Lurcher I have ever had, weighing in at 20kgs, about 44 lbs. I have owned, worked and raced Lurchers and Greyhounds since 1979. During the 80’s, I had a big Lurcher dog, close on 85 lbs, he was Greyhound x Saluki x Deerhound and he won the Welsh Championship 7 years in a row.

The color maybe?
The Brindle colour in greyhounds was introduced by Lord Orford in the mid to late 1700s. He wanted his coursing greyhounds to be stronger and have more bone due to the demands of coursing so he introduced a Bulldog x Greyhound. Of course, the resulting dogs were crossed back with Greyhounds but the Brindle colour became part of Greyhound DNA.

Here's my dog, his name is Lucky. He's a Lurcher, which is a Greyhound cross and mine is Greyhound x Whippet x Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Greyhound x Whippet x Whippet but not all smooshed into one. Typical WFH day. At 50 pounds, she's a pretty small Grey.
Ah, and this is from about six months ago; in this pic her fur is still growing in from being shaved for spay procedure.
