Cool....some of them look like No. 5 Jungle carbines. So what are they ...really?

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.

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.

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.
