All the three are lovely, but the first is not Cattleya intermedia, but probably an cattleya granulosa hybrid.

C. intermedia is varieable species and there are few recognized varieties, but I doubt your friend plant is a pure C. intermedia...mostly it is a C. intemedia hybrid.
Gorgeous!
I love the golden tones. Tell your friend that this is a beauty.
It really is a beautiful cattleya orchid - whatever the name.
cheers,
