Platy color variation names?

I got a “bachelor pad” of platys on Sunday. Two bumblebees, two pandas, a rainbow, a red hi-fin and two black and red ones who’s color variation I haven’t found a name for yet. I have seen pictures with similar coloring and different labels. I attached a close up of one of the black and red ones - what is the variation?

Likely a Black Platy or a heavily colored Red Tuxedo Platy as I can tell. The two sort of overlap each other in coloring.

Pic#1 shows a rainbow platy, pic#2 shows a hifin variatus platy (the color/pattern has no specific name of this specimen), pic#3 shows a tuxedo platy and pic#4 shows two bumble bee platies, two tuxedo platies and a blurry white (?) with some black on the tailside (if I see it well in this blurred pic. I could be wrong though).
The ones I've called bumble bees are no panda platies.
Panda platies have the combination white base color with black patches.

The white blur is one of the ones I was told is a panda. I have two of them. They both have white bodies and black tails.

I wasn't sure because that particular platy was blurred.
