#1 and #3 are Hyperglide type cassettes. The cogs can be made to fit your Uniglide hub. If you look closely, there is one spline on each cog that is wider than the others. A little work with a file or Dremel on the wider spline will allow it to fit the Uniglide cassette body.

#2 is a SunTour cassette. It cannot be made to fit your hub.

FWIW: The majority of the changeover from freewheel to cassette hubs happened in the 1980's. Shimano cassette hubs appeared in 1982-ish (1982 Shimano Dealer catalog: https://www.sheldonbrown.com/shimano1982/) and took off with the mountain bike revolution. By 1990 most bikes had cassette hubs. I spent that decade working in shops and the bicycle business and watched it happen.
