It seems that nobody has taken up the OP challenge, so here goes.
If you simplify graphics enough they'll all look similar. But out of the three OP examples, the Jewish menorah (chandelier) is the only one that clearly has seven parts (for seven candles). It can be discussed if the number refers to the seven days of the week as proposed in Genesis, or the seven planets known to antiquity, or perhaps something else. Any way you argue, it's clearly seven. Different from the other two graphics, where you may imagine at most five parts.
Next, the Persian rising bird of Phoenix like in the Iranian flag. Also a calligraphic rendering of the name Allah (
الله). Interesting, clever and unique.
Lastly, you all should know the combination of the centre khaNDa, the two kirpans and the chakkar. Very unique indeed. No connection to writing.
Knowing the origins, it's three very different symbols.
