The last one is the RG-33. That designation is for the 4 wheeled version. The six wheeled version is the RG-33L.
The ones titled SF RG-33 or perhaps 10th Group RG-33 in your files are the same one.
I believe the one above the Homeland Security vehicle is an RG-31 Mk 5. You have that one in the "Engine and Debris Blower" walkaround.
I think the RG-31 with the abundance of slat is known as an MMPV Type II. I don't have any photos of it though.

Is the forthcoming RG-33 an RG-33 4 wheel or the RG-33L?

All I can say is that interest has been expressed in both. I've take enough measurements of both types, and obviously the photos as well.
This one is a 300 meter target though, if you catch my drift.
Did you get your photos today ?

Third picture is of a RG-31 Mk 5E/RG-31A2. The fourth picture is a RG-31 Mk 5EM/RG-31A3 with the TAK-4 suspension. The DHS truck is probably an EM too. The one with the bar armor is difficult to tell under all that stuff, but could probably be another Mk 5E.
