Yes. Cinnamon meeces have black eyes. Champagne is a pale golden beige with a golden. An agouti is a mix of black, red and grey, very much darker, with no yellow at all.
Genetically, in brief:
A champagne is a pink eyed chocolate: a/a b/b C/* D/* p/p
A cinnamon is a chocolate agouti: A/* b/b
An agouti is: A/* B/* C/* D/* P/*
Your yellow mouse is either a recessive yellow or perhaps some sort of brindled mouse that lacks stripes.

The last pic looks like an agouti to me. When they're not selectively bred they do get tan and paler sandy yellow coloured hairs. Mind you, your location may determine whether it can be anything else as the recessive yellow and type of brindle Moustress refers to are not available in the UK.

This is a minor point, but cinnamon mice don't technically have black eyes. The allele that dilutes a mouse's fur to brown also dilutes the eyes to brown, usually dark but sometimes between a dark shade and dark ruby. It's a very subtle difference though, and most groups use the phrase "eyes black" to include the dark brown of a chocolate or cinnamon mouse.
