    These flavours only vary in their default desktop environment

    The official flavors can be installed from ubuntu like following: sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop same goes for others like kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop. You get the idea. Be aware that installing an other/additional desktop might change your installation in unexpected ways (Greeters change, Bootscreen changes, default apps change, etc.). For a clean system it is recommended to install the desired desktop from the beginning, but for experimentation, this is quite convenient.

sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop

or

sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop

will install the lubuntu desktop and all its standard applications. After executing the command, log out and on the log-in screen, use the cog to select the Lubuntu session and then provide your password to log in to the Lubuntu desktop.

There is, perhaps unfortunately, no standard way to cleanly remove anything related to the Ubuntu desktop to leave only the Lubuntu packages.
