Granddad's Pens! Can Someone Help Identify Them?

Hello everyone! I'm new here and relatively new to fountain pens as well, but I've already bugged my grandfather about pens he's got lying at home. I'm quite a fair distance away from where he is in China, but my dad's over there visiting, so I asked for some good pictures of the pens my granddad dug up. Dad Photography being what it is though, the attached pictures are all I've got at the moment until I can con him into taking better photos of the nibs/clips or get my hands on them in person.

 

I've identified the red/black celluloid one as a Guanleming 193 thanks to the, uh, minor "clue" on the body. The chrome/gold one I believe comes as a set with the ballpoint pen, and they both have Jaguar on the clip, which is a pen company based out of Hong Kong. Haven't been able to find much about these pens-- partly because there seems to be a bit of confusion with Jaguar the car and Jaguar the Chinese pens.

 

The main mystery for me at the moment are the black and the white pens. There are quite a few Hero and Baoer pens that look like the black one but none of the hooded nib pens I've seen have that cap. I'm also at a loss as to where to start with the white pen. Granddad seems to think they're all Hero pens, though that doesn't seem to be accurate from my research so far.

They certainly do not look like Hero to me, in fact they look like Gold Star 286 ( the white pen ) and 925 ( the black pen ) but there are differences in details and trim ( different section trim , cap band, look like a different clip but I cannot tell from the photos ) This heavy rod styling is almost a Gold Star trademark in design for their late 80's to 90's models

Thank you so much for your expertise! The black pen looks a lot like the pictures of the 925 I've been able to find-- I've asked if there are any markings on the clips, so if it has the star logo it's probably the right one.

 

Would you happen to have any images of a 286 handy? I've had a look on Taobao and searched on Baidu but can't seem to find anything.
