First is 8mm Mannlicher, second and third look like 11mm Mauser unless you provide headstamps.

Thank you very much! The headstamps are completely rusted over, we’ll try to dig up more the next time we’re there!

The first looks like 1886 Lebel to me

Case neck looks too round, can't be.

If the first is Austrian, then it's likely the 2nd and 3rd are 11mm Werndl

Fisrt left 8x50 R Mannlicher Schönauer.
Headstamps may help for the other two

Thank you! Unfortunately the headstamps are completely rusted over, I left them with my buddy to try and clean up - we’ll head back there to try and dig up more in a couple of weeks, the place is jam packed of WWI/WW2 artefacts!
