Can anyone help me identify the type or types of grass in these photos. I'm not very good at it yet, but I don't think there is any KBG cause there have been some bare spaces that haven't filled in. I really need to overseed but want to make sure I put down the correct grass or grasses. Thanks!

Definitely looks like some fine fescues in there. If you're going to over seed with something similar I would go with a northern mix meaning KBG, PRG, FF.

Do you happen to know a good ratio to use? 33.3 KBG, 33.3 PRG, & 33.4 FF?

Also, aren't fine fescues meant for shade primarily?

Yes FF do well in partial shade. I would look for something with maybe 10-15% FF. KBG is notoriously difficult to over seed into existing turf. That said, I would still use a mix with KBG in it. The one I use on my front yard is something like KBG 40% PRG 50% FF 10%.
