Hosta differentiation

When Cleo, the darling demon doglet, un-potted and gave all the small and/or new hosta the death shake, I just potted up what was left. I couldn't tell what was the 3 year old Blue Mouse ears and what was the new Blue Cadet, so they ended up in the same pot.

I thought I could tell by the BME having rounded leaves and the BC having pointed leaves, but they all became pointed. Then, it seemed obvious that the one with the taller scapes is Blue Cadet and the shorter scapes is Blue Mouse ears, but what about the one with the middle high scape?

What do you think?

I'd like to get this separated before it gets too intertwined. The tall scape topped out at about 16". The medium scape is about 11". The short scape is about 6"

I think this is BME, scapes are about 6" above the leaves

I think this is also BME, scapes are about 6"
