This is the Japanese karate! Also, it regroups all the techniques that may be used ; it's a good article where u can find all the hand striking techniques

Japanese karate is a somewhat generic term, there's different styles and in mine not all the terms you listed are used as you have for example in Wado Ryu
tate zuki: half reverse punch, with a vertical position
is a vertical punch but not a half reverse one.

haishu uchi: back hand strike
is an overhand punch

jun zuki: step through punch
is Junzuki - forward punch or lunge punch ( not a step through one for us)

awase zuki: narrow double fisted punch

This is just a few of the differences, they aren't right or wrong just different which is why I asked what style your list is from. The differences are interesting, often the technique is done slightly differently too.

yes now i understand what you meant before!! u asked what style is that in karate !! those terms are used in kyokushin and shotokan karate. but what i mean it's good to have all these stances regrouped in one place
