The top three photos correctly show the mechanics of the push-press. Only when the chest doesn't bob forward can maximum power be delivered vertically whether cleaning, jerking/push-pressing, or leaping vertically.
In the past we've expressed the mechanical advantage of the upright torso by tracing the path of the hip in the clean, describing the alignment of the load, hip, and base in the push-press, showing the launch point of the clean and push-press/jerk, and depicting various trajectories in common jumps.
