Haemanthus id help needed

I received these three plants together as Haemanthus coccineus but they are all different.

https://flickr.com/photos/32952654@N06/… <https://flickr.com/photos/32952654@N06/…> show all 3 together

https://flickr.com/photos/32952654@N06/… <https://flickr.com/photos/32952654@N06/…> this one has white hairs on the leaves with red stripes near the base.

https://flickr.com/photos/32952654@N06/… <https://flickr.com/photos/32952654@N06/…> this one has smooth leaves with no basal red marks

looking back through the list i came across an entry from 29 Oct 2012
Haemanthus dasyphyllus from the Kamiesberg - "both surfaces light green with a few red bars .... mostly covered with long soft white hairs" Further on in the description the hairs are described as "long, soft and shaggy” from page 106 of the Haemanthus revision by Dr Dee Snijman.

could the first plant be Haemanthus dasyphyllus ? I do not have access to the Snijman book

Can anyone help on the id of these other Haemanthus ?

Thank you
