Friedrich and Roon are impossibly large displacement, which fits with their bonkersly massive demon rigging dragons.

The first two H-39s actually did get laid down. They were never named because in Germany a ship isn't named until launch, and those two ships were cancelled within half a year. Friedrich der Große is a fairly plausible name for one of them to have been given if they'd been finished, but dozens of other national heroes of Germany would be equally plausible.

Reminder that Stalingrad can't be purchased by cash directly.
As it stands today: You cannot buy a T10 ship via money directly.

Funny that Roon is pretty much the odd one out there since she was concepted around a turret.

So this leaves:

Lion, Charles Martel, Kiev (Tashkent was sort of alive), Vladivostok, Sovetsky Soyuz, Alsace and Udaloi.

Hopefully wave 3 gives Aurora some paper colleagues at least.

Next collab needs to have the USS Montana. The Iowa class were the best BB class in the world and still are. The Montana was going to be their evolution, so you can just imagine what it would of been like.

Montana is actual paper and not WG paper.

Not exactly as IIRC Saint Louis and Seattle are actual ships

None of them were actually finished, most didn't even get into actual design drawing board.

Only Ibuki were actually constructed, but halted and redesigned to a light carrier only to be abandoned due to war end. Kitakaze was relatively simple redesign of Akizuki to give better speed (think of like how Allen M. Sumner redesigned into Gearing), so probably drawings were made. Izumo was one of the battleship design proposal for the two battleship slot authorized under "Maru-3" program (which would eventually filled by Yamato design), it went no further than preliminary configuration calculation. Azuma was B-65 design which intended to be a replacement for the role initially filled by the original Kongō. It was planned to be built within the original "Maru-5" program, so I guess detailed "blueprint" drawings were made. The program went haywire due to the massive amount of ships lost after Midway that forced Japan to enter emergency shipbuilding mode ("Maru-5 Kai") to mainly replace the carriers so she went nowhere.

Gascogne was to be a modified Richelieu design intended to counter the Italian Littorio. Detailed design and drawings were made. Materials and building slot were allocated, but her protracted design process results in the order far too late just before Fall of France and the plan got scrapped (The protracted building of Jean Bart also didn't help by tying available drydock space). Saint Louis was planned to be a improved Algerie design to replace the aging Duguay-Trouin. She got much further into the development process and went as far as getting most of the detailed design drawing completed. Her program got halted due to the war and eventually cancelled due to Fall of France.

Georgia and Seattle as far as I know only went as far as rough preliminary configuration produced to demonstrate "what could've done within a specific constraint", at least Seattle had "Spring-style" drawing made. No further work were made.

Friedrich der Große is based off H-39. Since the design was part of Plan-Z which got finalized, approved and authorized by Hitler, I'd guess detailed drawings and designs were made. None were actually built of course. Roon is completely made up design. It is a Wargaming fantasy built around the three-gun version of Hipper's turret which actually got a detailed drawing.

Neptune was one of the design considered for the 1944 Cruiser program. It got preliminary drawings made, but the program dragged way too long into postwar where the UK went broke so no more shipbuilding. The 1944 program was folded into the later dual purpose CL program (Minotaur), which also got folded shortly after. I don't know what the hell Monarch is... Probably one of the 15-inch design alternative for KGV, but Wargaming's Monarch doesn't match into particular design actually considered.
