Yes, most look like dolerines. 4. is a Tenthredo of the arcuata group.
6. looks like Aglaostigma sp.
Never seen a book on sawfly larvae, unfortunately.
The only was to identify sawflies correctly is by using Benson's RES keys and a microscope.

There is an excellent book on sawfly larvae: unfortunately it is in German and was published some 50 years ago: Lorenz & Kraus "Die Larvalsystematik der Blattwespen". This remarkable work is still the standard reference, but it does not cover every species. |

Interesting reference, I'd not heard of it.
