If you have the barrel date correct, the barrel is from a M1903A3. They were not used in overhaul on M1903s by the U.S. Army and the barrel was installed by a former civilian owner.

The last One is nice Bizio, it still has the original JFC marked stock aswell. I'd go for that one unless very expensive.
Will reply to your PM on weekend, currently on the highway, been to Germany working, I currently only have my iPad at Hand.

Wow, very little finish left on that last one you're looking at. Almost looks like a parade rifle. Hehehhee It's purdy still though.

Looks like a nice (although worn, as you said) example of an earlier Springfield M1903. What is the barrel date? The D5 bolt might be a little "late" (maybe a year or two) but might be in the "margin or error".
