Was wondering if anyone had any insight or knowledge on these bayonets.

Some passed down, some aquired over the years.

This one has matching numbers on the scabbard as well as the blade

I have alot more pictures but hit the limit on this post. Can provide any pics needed
 
The last Pic is a Yugoslavian 1948 8mm Mauser bayonet. Looks like it was made in factory 44.

3 picture down, Ka-Bar, M6 bayonet and then a Russian AK-47 bayonet.
I appreciate the knowledge, i was under the impression it was a Chinese AK bayonet.
 
The bottom one in the first two pictures is a Japanese Type 30. Below is a tang stamp chart of Japanese bayonets. You can see the tang stamp from your bayonet in the upper left corner of the chart.

It looks like the middle bayonet in the first two picks was shortened. Close up pics of the tang markings might help identify it.

I'd say the middle one is a British Pattern 1907. The stamp is very worn, but I believe there was a crown stamp there above the "1907" stamp (examples below). It's my understanding that a "DP" stamp indicates a drill/practice bayonet. "DP" for "drill practice" or "drill purpose". That could be the reason for it being shortened, as DP bayonets were often blunted, and my guess is that someone wanted to make it pointy and lethal again.

Here is an upclose of the marking.
And also one of the end of the tang of the type 30
