Your second cactus resembles Parodia(Notocactus) mammulosa.

1st can be M. matanzanus. 3rd is definitely Ferocactus pillosus.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.

I don't think the Melocactus is matanzanus. I have one that looks very similar to yours, with the chevrons between the ribs, which has been identified as M. bahiensis.
