Day or evening, night or morning, morning or afternoon
Greetings.
I know "day or night" and "night or day" are correct:
(1) day or night, e.g.:
(1a) You can call me any time, day or night.
(1b) You can call me any day or night.
(1c) You can call me day or night.
I wonder whether the analogous variants are also correct:
(2) day or evening, e.g.:
(2a) You can call me any time, day or evening.
(2b) You can call me any day or evening.
(2c) You can call me day or evening.
(3) night or morning, e.g.:
(3a) You can call me any time, night or morning.
(3b) You can call me any night or morning.
(3c) You can call me night or morning.
(4) morning or afternoon, e.g.:
(4a) You can call me any time, morning or afternoon.
(4b) You can call me any morning or afternoon.
(4c) You can call me morning or afternoon.
Which examples are correct and which are not? Thanks.

loviii I wonder whether the analogous variants are also correct: No. "Anytime" (note the spelling) means 24 hours a day, and that clashes with your variants. "Day or night" is a formula that emphasizes your availability.
