I guess, that first and third one,  are some crosses, (third one can be Limequat) and second one is ordinary Orange.

Very interesting!

The first images remind me a citrus sold as Perfume Lemon/香水檸檬 (I left some info here) that last year I've found sold in Malaysia and it looks like is another variety from Taiwan, but now very extensively growth in PRC too.
The biggest problem both in these countries is the language barrier and it's very hard to understand which variety is what, if you cannot read mandarin, furthermore as everywhere sometimes the names are a little generic.

You can find quite a few scientific publications about Perfume Lemon/香水檸檬 from 2012 on. Maybe is not the same but another Taiwaneese variety, I think there is not so much hype as with Japaneese varieties and probably we are just touching the tip of the iceberg.

The last pictures looks exactly the same as the fruits I bought there and I supposed as C. ujukitsu like from UCR description in the other discussion where I wrote about it.
And this is for sure citrus Ujukitsu… sweet lemon as they say
