pics 1, 2, and 6 look like Noire de Caromb fig description, but pics 3, 4 and 5 look like some other amazing fig that is dark and squatty.

This is what i see in those pictures. Perhaps pictures taken at different times.
 Now im no expert by far but here is my thinking on what im seeing and its  just a quick observation im not disputing anyones observations .  ; )

Picture 2 and 6
Picture 2 looking at the figs placement could be breba figs - below leaves on branch.
Picture 6 that fig looks like its on old wood as the forked branch right above it looks like recent growth - breba fig and same color as picture 2

Pictures 4 and 5 looking at the leaves turning are main crop later in season, main crop figs at height of season can be beatiful color. Then can but not always lose that beauty. Course weather plays big factor.

Picture 3 a branch tip but yet only one leaf left - fig is one of the last hanging on color of fig affected by cool late season weather as a branch tip should have abundant leaves unless its very late in season.

Breba different color than main crop here  - possibly here .
Main crop nice color
Last of figs when seasons nights and less daylight figs color affectedand not as nice color.

Also its my opinion only that in picture 1 is not what the camera holder is actually seeing with his eyes but what the camera is seeing due to lighting , a figs color that does not match what eye is seeing - Poor picture

I have taken many pictures of same fig and sometimes when i go to sort them out i say to myself "shoot thats not the true color what i saw and with so many pictures i find the one that looks like what i actually seen at that moment. I seem to capture what i actaully see in morning or late afternoon.

If anyone thinks im expert and actually i know these things then i have a skyscaper here in Chicago i can sell you for good price with rooftop garden that has many rare fig tree's included !
Its all fun.
