Middle two are probably civilian weapons. Rapiers weren't used a lot in battle despite what the Three Musketeers would have you believe.

Yeah, military use always strongly favored stouter cut-and-thrust blades and simpler hilts (more and broader use cases, less danger of breaking, less opportunity for fumbling under pressure) and of course the parrying dagger on top, _purely_ a civilian weapon, could well be paired with the sword immediately below it. But also of course there were always officers who cared more about personal style than doctrine and soldiers who just couldn't afford a second sword on top of their civilian EDC. :)
