The first two are of Davis #1.
The next two are of Royal Flush.
Ah ha......That's what I have. I lost the label on my Royal Flush. I'll post a pic later.

Royal Flush with oak shaped leafs? Hmm maybe a Hybrid. And Davis only named large leafed plants, maybe your photo is playing tricks on my eyes.
Ron's picture of his Royal Flush has what looks like semi oaked shaped leaves, not oak shape. I think his plant is typical for what's going around as Royal Flush. As I do see slight differences from your plant David from Ron's, in my opinion their pretty similar, but could be different plants.
David, who put this identification of Royal Flush on your plant?

When I first got this plant, it was growing under 50% shade cloth in relatively perfect conditions. The leaves then were more ovate. It was planted in mid Oct. 2009. Since then it has been subjected to Winter 2010, heavy winds, harsh westerly afternoon summer sun, underwatering at times and croton scale. No longer growing in "perfect conditions" some of the new leaves have taken on a semi oak shape. Some of the lower leaves are much less semi oak shaped. Growing conditions and other variables can change leaves.
If you pump up crotons with liquid fertilizers on a regular basis, sometimes that causes rapid growth and slight changes of leaf shape. What if you get the leaves much larger by this fertilizing method, does this mean that the name is no longer accurate because the leaves are larger than typical?
Royal Flush is a Davis hybrid? I never knew that. You learn things all the time
