Photo looks like Eugenia involucrata to me. E. involucrata and E. calycina are both referred to as CORG. Maybe your other varieties are E. calycina? Unless I am understanding your question wrong

I do not know, they could also be the same with this. All plants can have variation between the same variety in terms of leaf and plant size

This is one of the different seedling. Is it E.calycina?

They both look like COTRG to me. It's a variable species.

I don't think it's E.calycina.
I have a couple of variations and neither look like that.
Your leaves are pretty wide.

The first pic has opposite leaves and the second pic has spiraling leaves. Does this mean it's a different species or can it be a hybrid variation? I'm very new to this stuff

The first pic (above) has opposite leaves, second has opposite decussate leaves, with successive pairs crossing at right angles. I was reminded of this thread when I noticed some non-decussate leaves on my mostly decussate CORTG.

The second photo looks like E. selloi to me.  The first is probably E involucrata, or calycina.
