It would be easier if we could see pics of the trees they came from. I would've said that the second one is trident maple, but its probably not if you say it was from a standard Japanese maple

As Luke said. Hard to say without pictures of the trees. My guess from left to right is birch japanese maple and full moon maple. Hard to guess though.

Cheers
