Sounds like a standard Model 10 (M&P) and a couple of either M17's or M18"s or one of each.
Great guns.
If you open up the cylender and look on the frame there will be models on most of the guns.
10-3, 13-2, 17-2, 18 for example

     I can't do the pctures,but I checked the # on the frame. They all have matching 6digit sort of serial# on the frames and cranes. they do not seem to indicate a model#

All sound as thought they are "Pre-Model #" pieces. Nice pieces that I hope you will use and cherish. First one sounds exactly like an M&P, which became the Model 10. The latter may differ in their sights. Patridge front blades are a Pre-17, and Bauman ramps are Pre-18. Hope that helps.
