I got these three at a thrift store for a total of $6!

Can you help me identify them? I believe one to be guru rinpoche but it's not the form I am familiar with. I could be wrong too.

Thank you

I'm pretty sure the bottom one is Sitatapatra.

Bottom one is Sitatapatra. Top one is a form of Hayagriva.

Can't really tell the middle. Will try to make them bigger and maybe I can give you more info....

རྟོག་གེའི་ཡུལ་མིན་བླ་མའི་བྱིན་རླབས་དང་།
སྐལ་ལྡན་ལས་འཕྲོ་ཅན་གྱིས་རྟོགས་པ་སྟེ།
དེ་ནི་ཤེས་རབ་ལ་ནི་ལོ་རྟོག་སེལ།།

"Absolute Truth is not an object of analytical discourse or great discriminating wisdom,
It is realized through the blessing grace of the Guru and fortunate Karmic potential.
Like this, mistaken ideas of discriminating wisdom are clarified."
