Nick Szabo and Wei Dai appear to be mythical creatures just as much as Satoshi Nakamoto and therefore saying that, say, Szabo is Nakamoto provides no information. The other two appear to be real people.

I believe these are both meatspace identities.

Nick Szabo is a "former law school professor at George Washington University" according to Wikipedia.

Wei Dai has attended SIAI/MIRI workshops in person:

("Wei Dai" could be a pseudonym but if so I haven't seen him mention that on Less Wrong.)
