Your points on the New Lands and Dark Lands are most likely correct. We don’t really know enough about who lives there to confirm it, but it is probable. The Lands of the Sun are different from those lands as well; they are more related to Valinor. No men lived there, and they were taken from the circles of the world along with Valinor. Therefore, they really can’t correspond to any current lands. If there were islands around there after that, than yes, you would be right. The Lands of the Sun themselves have no real world basis.
