Yes, these are good examples of the male Nacaduba kurava nemana.

The FW submarginal spots tend to form a neat regular band, with rounded or even inner margins.
The dark striae within th FW postdiscal band are diffused. (almost obsolete in beroe, sharp in berenice/calauria.)

The HW submarginal spot 6 is typically large, & quadrate (rectangular or squarish) in the male kurava.
A bit of vague darkening is sometimes seen at the wingbase.
