Reducing clause giving same or different meaning

We have received plenty of faulty product, some of which is brand new.

some of which being brand new.

some being brand new.

some which is brand new.

Do you accept all of these and do they all have the exact same meaning?

Thanks

The third one, some which is brand new. I don't know what is wrong with it. But I would not use it, just sound a bit weird. (probably something wrong with 'some' and 'which' being right after each other)
