The top one looks like a spagetti squash (called Stripetti)

Harlequins/Celebration - I've had some with different colour patterns to the one on the seed packet photo before, so any that have the "acorn" shape might be harlequin (sometimes the patterns come out when bigger so don't panic over those pale yellow ones)

The oval ones (including the mottled green) all look suspiciously like spagetti squash type (or maybe marrow)

The ninth photo (2nd from bottom) look like Sweet Dumpling (EDIT: or, acorn type - can't see from the photo)

I'm growing courgettes, pumpkins, several varieties of squash and melons and got all the labels mixed up. I love surprises!

When spaghetti squashes are more golden, like the one on the checked cloth, then they're ready. The pix ones on the vines aren't quite ready yet.

I have some like Number 10 but they are a beautiful golden colour, I've always called them Spaghetti. The packet just says Squash but the variety is Winter Festival. Perhaps with a little more sun yours will turn golden too.

I am assuming number ten will end up like the one below on the checked cloth.

I thought number 1 looked like a Bush Delicata,

yes, now that I look at it again, I can see it does - but going off the original seed list (which seems bonkers if these are what are growing  ::)), the Stripetti F1 looks very similar but is a spagetti squash and very tasty too http://www.plantsofdistinction.co.uk/vegetables/courgette-marrow-squash-pumpkin/squash-stripetti-f1  .  Very productive with several good size fruits per vine

No, I must be wrong, it can't be Spaghetti. This is a picture of mine.....
