My guess would be that all of these larvae are Syrphus-species. Whether it's S. vitripennis, S. ribesii or S. torvus I don't know. They even might all belong to the same species, for Syrphus-larvae are very variable in their colouration. For example, see the pictures of white, red and brown colour forms of S. ribesii in the 'Colour gide to hoverfly larvae' (Rotheray 1993).
