I'm not 100% on Javelin, but I think you're right. The other two are slam dunks. Anybody that can't identify the last for should retire from BARdom.

It looks skinnier than the BT-20 Wizard and the Wizard is skinnier than the BT-50 Starlab. I think you're on the money.

It's Javelin, Cherokee-D, and Super Flea from Left to Right.

It could be the Wizard third as well though. Hard to tell exact fin shape in that pic. Hard to tell if BT is BT-5 or BT-20.
First rocket is definitely a Javelin.
I was going to mention the pic must be post 1978 as the Maxi Alpha 3 was released in 1979.
Just noticed it is a 1980 catalog....

Yeah, the fact that the Starlab is there had me thinking Wizard because they were both recently introduced, but the Javelin seems to travel with the Super Flea for some reason. (Like Batman and Bruce Wayne.) To me, it looked very close in diameter to the midpoint section of the Starlab.

3rd one is taller and thicker than the Javelin. Super Flea is shorter and same BT-5 diameter as the Javelin. It's a BT-20 rocket so it's probably the Wizard. Ozzy says so.

Misty morning, clouds in the sky
Without warning, the wizard walks by
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell
Funny clothes, tinkling bell

Leftmost rocket is DEFINITELY a Javelin.
It's definitely BT-5 based, nose shape correct, and only rocket I know of from Estes that used that fin shape.
