Is each of the 18 Mahapurans related to a different Kalpa?

Question

While researching for an answer I came across the reference of Padma Puran having been revealed in the Padma Kalpa which was the last day of the 50th year of Brahma. Currently we are in the Varah Kalpa or the 1st day of the 51st year of Brahma.

Is there such a mention for other Purans as well and if yes can someone share the entire list?

As mentioned in this answer, different Puranas were revealed during onset of different Kalpas.

Chapter 53 of Matsya Purana mentions Kalpas of all Puranas except Brahma and Markandeya Puranas.

Padma Purana - Padma Kalpa (hence the name)

Vishnu Purana - Varaha Kalpa (current Kalpa)

Vayu Purana (includes Shiva Purana) - Sveta Kalpa

Bhagavata Purana - Sarsvata Kalpa

Naradiya Purana - Brhat Kalpa

Agni Purana - Isana Kalpa

Bhavishya Purana - Aghora Kalpa

Brahma Vaivarata Purana - Rathantara Kalpa

Linga Purana - Agneya Kalpa

Varaha Purana - Manava Kalpa

Skanda Purana - Satpurusha Kalpa

Vamana Purana - Kurma Kalpa

Kurma Purana - Lakshmi Kalpa

Matsya Purana - Vaivastara Manvantara of Varaha Kalpa

Brahmanda Purana - Future Kalpas (No specific name mentioned)

@SuryaKantaBoseChowdhury It's better not to add those details. I added what Matsya Purana said. You can add it as other answer (maybe Partial answer). – The Destroyer Oct 10 '17 at 12:24
So my question is whatever is told in those Puranas relative to only those Kalpa? – Arun Rana Jan 22 '22 at 08:57
