In my (limited) experience:

-Picture 1: Phantom Evolution

-Picture 2: the console suggests a Solent Rib but im not 100%

-Picture 3: is a Leeway 8.3m, truly awful photo though Richard you need to get a newer camera, my photos much clearer!

As Pete says are we including RIBs based around existing designs, or are we sticking to straight copies? Im assume we are sticking to the Steve Baker designs here, we could also illustrate the Mike Ring variations with the Ring ribs and the Shearwater, although these are based around existing designs as opposed to straight copies.
Pete is that a Tohatsu rib, am I right in saying that the Solent RIB is very similar?

Whatever take your fancy!

Just for clarity, the first picture I posteed - a grey tubed Phantom Evolution, is a legitimate, licensed version of a Phantom, like the orange picture that ADS posted.

Really, I knew the 'Evo and the Phantom UK RIB based on the P16 were legit, I hadn't realised the Tohatsu/ Solent Ribs were not, or am I getting confused here!!
