Having sought another opinion and also having looked through The Complete Guide to Perthshire Paperweights, I am reasonably sure that the canes 3 C and 6 C are most likely from Perthshire Paperweights.

Among the "picture canes" of Perthshire Paperweights are versions of butterflies made in the "Ysart style" as opposed to being formed from a multitude of tiny rods. Also, a 20-point cog mould was often used - as is the case with the 3 C and 6 C canes here. Those points, together with the clean and tidy  look to the canes are my reasons for homing in on Perthshire Paperweights.

All of the final batch = Salvador Ysart / Ysart Brothers.

Note that the last one (6 D cane) has a surround which seems to be either ...
a) a white coating over a multiple-toothed inner section
or
b) made up of many rods rather than a regular coating

Both of those style of outer coating can be seen in some other "Salvador / Ysart Brothers" canes, although they are not common.

See pic below for an example of the "many rods" style of outer "sleeve" - which is composed of at least 60 rods of yellow (or amber) over a white core.
