Which is which?
And what is the connection of one of them with these?
Well done! They don't half look the identical from certain angles. I'm glad I didn't include the HPR 2 http://www.handleypage.com/Aircraft_hpr2.html The other two aren't a Griffon Mustang or a Baltimore crossed with an Avenger if that's any help.
And the connection is they were all designed and built by CAC in Australia. Interestingly, the only proposal for a Griffin Mustang prior to the Reno racers was a RR mid fuselage design with an extension shaft to a nose contraprop using only the tail and wings of a Mustang I. But the idea was dropped. The Westland P10 (early Eagle Wyvern study) had a similar layout btw.

ah yes, more CAC aircraft the CA-4 Woomera and the CA-15 Kangaroo. Must admit that's a new one to me.... a very interesting dip into history.
The first two have a tail layout like the Scottish aviation Pioneer
