Funny thing. I just looked at Goldsworthy's Complete Roman Army today.
Those patterns look to match a sketch in there. If these pieces are indeed a match to that, then the middle is a "Mainz" pattern gladius , the one on the right would be "Pompei" type pattern, and the left a Spatha.

Just my uneducated guess. The image and caption can be found on p.133
