I think posts 1-3 are probably the real thing but maybe not the others. Here some habitat pics of glaucophyllum. It has wide, stiff leaves that are glaucous silver-grey, not blue, not twisted.

I see what you mean. The real thing certainly has much wider leaves than anything I've seen labelled as glaucophyllum.
