Most of those images are too small to have their axes legible, but you need to 
realize that different systems have different geometries and the reaction 
coordinates appear (maybe? again, illegible in a couple cases) to be over 
different length scales.  You're comparing apples and oranges; trying to make 
one outcome look like another is unproductive.
