Perhaps the real confusion is between the actual definition of the Allan variance etc, and the various estimators of the Allan variance etc. For example: The so called classical Allan variance is nothing more than an estimator of the Allan variance. The so called overlapped Allan variance is a better (more accurate) estimator of the Allan variance.
