A problems with them being B-2 is the response Douglass got from Public Affairs at Whiteman AFB (quoted at the page linked from the OP):

Sir,

I have spoken with our schedulers and the aircraft you saw was not a B-2 on the date and time in question.
Thank you!

Very Respectfully,

Now, there might be B-2s operated away from Whiteman (AFFTC is the obvious alternative), but 3 of them?

Maybe the photos are too poor, but I would still have expected to see evidence of a W trailing edge if a B-2.
