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
