Could somebody ID these damsels? I think that two of them are female banded demoiselles but the colour is so different that I'm hoping one of them is a beautiful. I don't have a clue about the other one

I have a good book on the subject... it would seem to suggest:
Common Blue Damselfly (transitional female drab form!)
Banded Demoiselle (female)
Banded Demoiselle (female - demonstrating the irridescence of their reflective bodies)
