The attached files are the pictures of Zener, Switching and Signal Diode. Confusion is all are same. How can we differentiate them?

You shouldn't differentiate them by how they look. Instead take a look at the part number marked on the component. Then, look up the datasheet for that part. The datasheet will tell you what component the device is.

Hope this helps.
