1607 and 1609 are toppai-nari (Acorn shaped). 1626 is the greatest lacing nightmare ever considered by an armourer. The pattern is called fushi tsuname.
1714 is an interpretation of an early Heian armour. Called Enryaku, it is described in documents but no examples survive (that I know of anyway).

Eff,
The images are in the jo's photo album. (See the kusazuri thread). The photos were apparently taken at the Kyoto Jidai Matsuri.

Well, I'm not going to go through the whole site looking for photos and trying to match a URL to an image I don't even know. Sorry, just don't have the time.

I think this sums it up...my 2-year old son pointed to the traffic cone and said "uh-oh" ;D

Ah, okay, thanks.
Yeah, they're all real.
The last two, as Mykaru said, are reconstructions of early Heian armours based on modern best-guess deconstruction.

Wow...in that case, those early armours look fairly easy to make (the scale reminds me of the "standard international" lamella). As for the helmet, is the "framework" simply cosmetic or was that how the helmet was held together?

It's not. They're kozane. This is just what very wide kozane look like with VERY narrow lacing.
One piece bowl, with overlaid strips.
