Most of those are just updates of the other.
Like the latest version of OLC 'Gold' MkIIa,b,c,d.
Which follows after OLC Gui Special,
Which came after OLC Gui 1.27,
Which came after OLC Gui, where it all got started...
not really, it was born at roughly the same time as the Ujagd mod, but that was made by Joegrundman, and is really a different mod using similar functionality in the attackdisk and attackperiscope.
OLCE2 is more of an environment mod that had the 'gui special' come along with it because of file dependancies. The GUI special was optional though, and could be replaced with the GUI 1.27. The Gold MkII versions are a further update on the environment changes, again with his Gui part of it. The major change in the Gui would be between OLC Gui 1.27 and the Gui Special. Since the latter has only one zoom level in the periscope and didn't require modications to the recognition manual files (because of doubled mast heights).
Most of the other GUIs you mentioned have their own descriptive thread to explain what they do. But most of OLCs threads may be hard to find since they are hidden quite deep in the dungeons of subsim.com. But you'll notice many took inspiration from his mods by how often his name (OLC) is linked to it.
