I must say that I am at a lose in the moment.
On the one hand I would like to have as much detail as possible and would therefore like my second version 2 best.
But your version 4 has the merrit to be unspecific and in accordance with ToY. And a second argument for version 4 is that no one could have reproted what was said between Meaglin and the orks. That he was brought to Angband could be an information later added by some slaves who were in prison there. So the deatils from the talk of Meaglin with the orks are at best guess from some later scribe.

So in the ende, it is version 4 for me. We will take out some nice but in a way unknowable details.

Respectfully
