Another Month passes and the peppers are all doing well. With the fruit ripening and changing colour, I am now in a better position to identify duplicate plants and styles of peppers.
Long Thin
Pots 11B and 4A look to be Golden Cayenne. Pots 4B and 12B are a red Cayenne style pod. They are larger than my Ring of Fire and Hot Cayenne. I'm going to go for Large Red Thick for these.
There are another 2 plants with Thin pods.
5B - Still Green, but has the cayenne style cap to pod.
7A - Last plant to fruit, small thin pods at moment. Doesn't have the cayenne style cap to pod.
Pointed Peppers.
There are 4 plants all with pointed pods that could be Palermo. However plants in pots 1A & 1B have flat tops and plants in 5A and 9A are bushy. Only one of the plants have peppers changing to red. Jury still out on 1,2 or more varieties here.
Pot 12A is now changing colour from Purple.
During a search for a purple chilli came across a variety called Violet Sparkle - a close resemblance. Don't think I am going to be able to identify this one.
Perhaps one to put on Forum to see what others come up with before I get answer.
Bell Peppers.
3A, 3B and 6A are all Enjoya. The peppers have started to change colour to yellow.
Short Taper
7B is a short taper style pod. Initially purple, now changing to green. the plant is similar is colour to the Pot Black - 8a,8b, 11a
So from the table, the current thinking is that there are 10 varieties.

Agree 11B/4A likely Golden Cayenne.
4B/12B good guess, but not Large Red Thick, there were none of those seeds in the mix. Two possibilities, not sure myself yet.
7B/5B/7A might need more time and see ripe colour.
7B interesting. Might be a Pot Black cross.
1A/1B/5A/9A As per other messages, agree at least one of these could be Numex Sandia, and larger pods will be a sweet pepper. Will know what they are when we see them ripen to either red or yellow.
12A not a Violet Sparkle.
Clue? It's a rare sweet pepper. Probably originally from Poland, although what looks like the same pepper with a similar French version of its name can also be found
4B and 12B may be different.
The core pods are the same, but very 1st pod on 12b was more Short Taper in shape.
