These all belongs to the amphimuta group, subgroup amphimuta where HW spots 5, 6, & 7 are oblique & placed far from the cellend bar.
There is no white spot at the tornus, so it is either A. amphimuta or major.
In P. Malaysia A. amphimuta is much the commoner. (The opposite in Singapore.)

A. amphimuta HW postdiscal all 4 spots in line ,"V" spot well-formed.
Typical.
