Description of the first pirctures says "jet lift," so likely related to the Harrier replacement that ended up being the AV-8B instead of anything more capable.
 
In the first image, the top left design looks like one of the GD design studies. The one below it looks like a variation on the GD E-7. The one on the lower right looks like some sort of generic design based on the XFV-12 with a lift engine behind the cockpit. I can't tell what the wind tunnel model is. The second page is an F/A-18 design with canards and the other is an F-15 with small canards. My guess is those were studies for what became the F-15 STOL/MTD program.
