I am not sure that I agree that cross pollinating cannot affect the characteristics of squash plants. I have often had crook neck squash become more like a winter squash–harder skin and stringier texture. I have had different squash from the same plant this year, depending, I believe, on whether the plant was pollinated from a flower of a winter or summer squash.

Yes, I agree with Dave. The dark green heavily ribbed one looks like Kamo Kamo. I have some this year too.

The shape of the watermelon/squash looks identical to the Australian heirloom Kamo Kamo squash that I’m growing:
