Can someone help solve this below,

In first example middle lane of approach keeps to the outside of the 2 lane roundabout to exit on the right lane of the middle exit.
Second example inner (right) lane of approach then keeps to the inside of the 2 lane roundabout to exit on the right lane of the middle exit.
My assumption was that if approaching a 2 lane roundabout on 3 lanes, left goes left, middle goes straight (even though straight has 2 lanes to exit onto, middle gets both) and uses the outside lane of the roundabout and right takes anything after the straight exit and uses the inside lane of the roundabout, as in the first picture.
But then below pink coming from a different approach who’s on the inside of the roundabout, who is taking the same exit as red, either lane of the 2 lane exit, cuts red off because they stay in the inside lane too long ? Should pink not stay in the inside lane for that long and be more like yellow below ? This would mean red waits for yellow before entering the roundabout whereas with pink red thinks pink is going to take the right exit and not the straight exit.

Lane 2 on approach = lane 1 on exit
Lane 3 on approach = lane 2 on exit

To do anything else requires a safe lane change

Apologies I didn't explain it very well, looks like the second image is the correct one then, approaching on the right lane is for the right lane on the straight exit as well as anything after that. Thanks very much for clarifying.
