Thank very much.

Beautiful Parodia magnifica specimen.
The 3rd one possible one with caespitosa variation.
The E. grusonii might grown into a funny looking thing with the damaged ring area.

3rd is Eriocactus warasii IMHO.

I agree with anttisepp, if green bodied its more likely Parodia (Eriocactus-Notocactus) warasii. I find unlike most of the Eriocactus group warasii often offsets further up the stem, as in your 3rd picture, rather than originally basally offsetting as most cacti do. This seems normal for the species so nothing to worry about as the crown has not gone blind, but individual plants vary in their offsetting position of course.

This is an extreme example which has obviously not gone blind from the age of the mid stem offsets and obvious stem growth above and still producing offsets higher up:-
