Which parent creates this in Cattleya hybrids?

Your #2 still doesn't look even close to what it is supposed to be. The shape of the lip, the red lines in the throat, the yellow on the lipI still think it is mis-labeled. I don't know what it is, but don't see any way that it could be (glauca x digbyana) x digbyana. Not just the color but the form makes it highly unlikely.

I definitely agree with that. I think it is probably a photo of a very complex hybrid that the vendor accidently put on the wrong description. The others seem to check out though.

What I did learn for sure from my "research" (really wish shopping) is that there are color forms of digbyana I did not even know existed. There is even a digbyana with frilly petals.

I would definitely strike that "Aristocrat" hybrid from the record as well though.
