You found something interesting.
1 & 3 are correct.

2 is a female Nacaduba kurava nemana.
The forewing submarginal spots form a broad band with the inner margin rounded or scallopped.
The hindwing submarginal spot 6 is particularly large.

Here are two examples of female kurava for comparison though they belong to different subspecies.
From India.
