Looks to be a six spot roach. Do the nymphs have a row of three spots down each side of their body. A picture of the nymphs would help for me at lest.

The markings look to me like Eublaberus posticus. Has that particular specimen recently molted?

I agree with it being Eublaberus sp but it doesn't look like prosticus

The first ones are a craniifer hybrid, and the second one are definitly B.discoidalis

Yep, the first is E.distanti, the third B.discoidalis and the middle one looks like B.fusca (one you have pictured is normal fusca coloration so it's not a cross unless you have some black ones mixed in).
