Since my monitor is set to sRGB (which fairly closely matches the output of my printer) all your images should display about the same. They do not, so I can only conclude that there is something strange about them (like maybe they are adjust to to show what the person is trying to show no matter how they are viewed). Which to me means they prove nothing whatsoever.
The colours in the images are indicative only. The whole point of the images is to compare the gamuts which are represented by the outlines. Areas where you see the grey stick out of the coloured solid indicates where the printer can print a colour that the working space cannot represent. Except for the last graphic where I had to swap it around as the printer's gamut is completely enclosed by the ProPhoto RGB working space with plenty of space to spare.
Unfortunately they are 2D representations of 3D plots so there's only so much you can get out of them. I tried to choose a viewing angle which gave a good representation, and I kept it consistent between the different plots. I did have to scale the last one down a bit because ProPhoto RGB is so large.
BTW the sRGB setting on a monitor only sets the white point, brightness and contrast, and it doesn't imply any kind of colour management on the computer its connected to. It's good that your monitor and printer match - don't change any settings :)
