3 Tudor dial textures from the 1990's: what are they called?

Hi, I've seen 3 different Tudor dial textures from the 1990's and there doesn't seem to be much consensus about what to call them. They often get called the same names interchangeably, but it seems to me there are 3 distinct textures. Does anybody know for sure what to call these? Thanks!

Linen dial is the commonly used term.

For all 3 though? They're 3 different textures; one doesn't have horizontal lines and one has much wider spacing

Looks like Tudor's website calls this style "mosaic":



Maybe they are just the same thing with variations in weave etc.
