I agree with 1 and 3. 

It looks like #2 is a 19" wheel, which would make it a matching set with #3.  I believe the 77-80 LTD should have Enkei Kawasaki mags, 19" front and 16" rear.  The '79-'80 MkII and '80 Z1R also had 19" front Enkei Kawasaki mags which I think were basically the same.

DOHC, you might be right on #2. What thru me off was the valve stem location. On my 1978 Kz1000 LTD rear wheel the valve stem is equal distance from the spokes. I assumed the front would be the same, until I looked thru photos and found one of my front wheel. The valve stem is offset toward one spoke. I’m thinking DOHC is correct and #2 is the front match to #3
