It's a really grey area. Sabbath was the most HM of those three. Once the NWOBHM hit the scene the genre became more clearly defined.

I always considered Zep and Purple to be Hard Rock and not Heavy Metal.

EDIT

Kiss Alive will never, ever be confused with Made in Japan or How the West was Won when it comes to being hard rock.
