Which engine is which? (Liberty Issotta Fraschini, Fiat)

I could use an assist on identifying the engines on these Caproni ca.4 series bombers. From what I can find out, they used Fiat a.12, Isotta Fraschini and LIberty engines. Can anyone help identifying which is which in these images? Some of the pictures are probably too indistinct even for a wild guess but, guess away!

I would particularly blike to konw if one of them is a liberty engine because that is what I want to model. I have detailed pics of the engines but I want to make sure I use teh correct cowling, radiator etc.

The first picture, aircraft #3, appears to have V-type engines, the others with the vertical radiators are inline engines, so if any has Liberty's, it'd have to be #3.
