Matt, the big bayonet is called a sword bayonet and most were made in Belgium for the Chasse Pot Rifle. the last one is indeed a WWI bayonet for the Mauser. The first one seems to me a pretty standard Musket/percussion rifle bayonet, varying from Springfields to Brown Bess'

I have a couple of what I believe to be French bayonets. One has a name and date on it, the other a date. Look similar to the larger of your bayonets matt, but slight differences. Brass handles though.

You have a couple of Belgian Bayonets!!
copper handle and texts are highly likely of a Belfian forge.
