Cool....some of them look like No. 5 Jungle carbines. So what are they ...really?
Re: A few rare Lee-Enfields.
Here are some designer carbines made by Navy Arms/Gibbs back fifteen or so years ago. They probably have a collector value now the same as if they were actual issue weapons....the " No. 7 and tanker carbine". But....none are like yours. These are .308. Check out the magazine difference.

Re: A few rare Lee-Enfields.
Alas and alack, it turns out that they were photo shopped , except the top one.
To make amends I'll get some shots of the real things.

That's OK, the top one is the most beautiful.

Re: A few rare Lee-Enfields.
What is that top carbine? It's not a standard Jungle Carbine. You can tell by the stock. Jungle carbines, as far as I know, came either with or without the metal cap at the muzzle end of the stock. No top wood half inch beyond the barrel band.
I top a snap of mine for a post here one time in the past.
