The central [[triad]] in all three [[chord]]s is 8:10:13, but each uses a different 7th degree, to come as close as possible to the familiar aug7 (without straying into [[17-limit|high harmonics]]).

Interestingly, none of these chords has a [[5/4|5:4]]. Someone might argue that a chord with a [[neutral third scale|neutral third]] is not properly augmented, but they certainly sound closer to augmented than they do to anything else in Western music.
