I would love to see how many variations there are for the same type of construction. What is this called to you?
I'll go first. Tilt wall construction.

Is the variety where the pieces are cast at a precaster and shipped to the site differently named than where the pieces are cast on site.and tilted up?

Based on the second photo from the top left, I took it to be the type of construction where the wall panels are cast on-site after the floor slab has been poured, then the walls are simply tilted up and dropped into position.

Both "tilt up"?

If the walls aren't cast on-site and just tilted up into place, we call it "precast" rather than "tilt panel." "Tilt panel" (around here) implies that the wall panels are cast on-site.

No tilt-up if on site and precast if trucked in from the factory
Tilt-up construction. It is a form of precasting completed on site. The building’s slab-on-grade floor or a separate casting slab is used to form one side of the wall (typically the back side).
If the slab-on-grade floor is used for casting, the panels are then tilted up into position where they are located and anchored to the footing and to the adjacent panels. If using a separate casting slab, the panels are lifted and carried to the area of the building where they will be installed.

Tilt-up or tilt wall
It could be any construction type, really, depending on the specified fire resistance.Tilt-up. (or Type I/II given you indicated Type of Construction)
You could have a concrete building with metal interior stud partitions within the allowable height and area for a Type VB building without requiring it to be a Type I or II building.
I know... was just being smart.
