Answer

In your examples, I think "turn over" and "turn upside-down" are the same, but if the object is already upside-down and you turn it over, you are turning it right-side up.

In the case of pages, you just turn them. "Turn the page." "Turn to the next page." "Turn two or three pages." (I think?) Everything else you wrote looks correct to me.
