These could in fact be WW II issue jackets. The first one appears to have the metal 13 star buttons commonly used on early war HBT twill jackets. Check the inside of the pockets for a white Quarter Master's tag that will indicate the manufacturing date and other information.

Yes, I think they are all WW 2, However all but one - with slash pockets - are shirts, NOT jackets.
Have you looked inside the pockets for tags? Some also had them on the inside at the bottom of the tail. Also sometime printed rather than a sewn in tag.

The first one is a p-41 pattern issued to Navy Corpsman (medics) attached to the Marines. Also used by Seabee's. The jacket is a Navy version of the M-41 Field Jacket. They are usuallystamped USN on the front also but this one appears to have missed the stamper.

Those all appear to be different variants of USN issued shirts from the WWII era.
Thank God for John C. Garand!
