Welcome again.
Might I ask what leads you to believe that any of these rocks might be meteorites?
On your first post you had singled out a magnetic Earth rock as potentially being a meteorite. Is that why you are deliberating on these rocks? Because they show attraction to a magnet? If so, as I previously said, it's not a specific indicator for a rock being meteoritic.
For the rocks posted here, many of them exhibit features which would not be found in meteorites and none of them exhibit features which would suggest meteorites. I see no fusion crust; no aerodynamic sculpting, ablation faces, regmaglypts or flow lines; no chondrules; and no impact shocking. Nothing really. Sorry.
