I can't speak to how UMASS defines these positions exactly, but they're clearly Non-TT Lecturer positions. The UC positions are LSOE, which is a UC-specific designation for a continuing, tenure-equivalent postion (Lecturer with Security of Employment). Therefore the UC positions seem to more clearly fit into the TT category, as they're virtually TT (with teaching quality rather than research being the criteria for "tenure"). But I'm not sure other public systems have this same kind of category... it's kind of unique.
