The one labeled #2 is the only one with really long tips on the cloves - that is characteristic of Persian Star.
I had really clean garlic this year after the wet winter - mite wise that is. Did have a few cloves that were found to be discolored when cracked, maybe similar to your last pic but more yellowish than brown, they may have gotten soaked in the wet part of summer. I decided not to plant anything that looked at all suspect. I cleaned loose wrappers off the cloves but didn't soak with anything this time.
