Were these countries the really users of any version of Comet jet liners, or these liveries were the intentions only, and orders of aircrafts were cancelled ? By what reasons ?

There were a lot in production for various airlines
When the crashes occurred the type certificate was withdrawn so all that went on hold then eventually cancelled as all the versions current then were shelved with only the complete Comet 3 continuing and helping to develop the Comet 4.
In the meantime the airlines went elsewhere

Pan Am had ordered three (with seven on option) Series 3.
I would suspect they were cancelled, along with the BOAC series 3 aircraft, during the investigation.
Air India also had orders in for the 3 series.
