All these three are turkomen groups from east anatolia. The eastern part was taken by the shaybanids (an uzbek state) in the late 15th century.
Myself I definitely choose golden horde over a timurid state, as a kingdom that ruled modern turkmenistan and uzbekistan and there around has very little to do with the rest of the factions we've got.
