Only the large color set is a generic representation, all the others are very real:

You pegged the two portables sitting on the floor, an RCA 8PT at left and a Panasonic at right...

the other three table sets are (l-r) a Bush from Britain, a Du Mont RA-103 and a Motorola electrostatic, all from ~1949...

As Eric pointed out, the proto-Predicta is a Teleavia--from Italy--but the "curvy floor model" is also a foreign set: a 1949 La Voix de Son Maitre (His Master's Voice) from France. The little Motorola console next to it is pretty easily recognizable.
