Sorry, no suggestions from me, but I had to mention I have that LP from the first pic! It’s an early 80’s jazz funk comp - one of the first to be pressed as a continuous mix record. “Check Out The Groove” by Bobby Thurston is one of my favourites...ok, I’ll shut up now.

There are a number of search techniques you might employ:

Google “Disco font” or something similar.
Use the search engine at various font distributors. Fonts are catalogued at these establishments by “keyword” metadata, and it’s likely that the word “disco” would be one such keyword for the types you show.
If it is indeed type you are interested in, and not just fonts, you can get a lot more inventive with your search terms.
To be really different, search offline.
Make your own. If you have vector drawing skills, this sort of thing is much easier to do now than back in the day with pen and ink.
