I'll take a stab at this one, though it's hard to tell on numbers 2 and 4 due to lack of detail in the photo:
From bottom to top:
1)swp45
2)byf42
3)uncoded luftampt e-block
4)bcd 41
5)Portuguese byf

Nice collection K98!

Close!!!
Number 4 is a duv41.
Damn I'm good...
Harder to do this one without seeign the receiver tops, but this much I can say:
Top to bottom:
1) M48A or M48BO - probably an the former.
2) K98k, looks like either Yugo or RC?
3) K98k, probably portuguese
4) K98k, Norwegian refurb perhaps?
5) VZ24 or G24(t)
I should post some Mauser #### later... we'll see if I get ambitious...
Edit: Here 's a start from the "files":
I still have all these except the last one.

The uncoded one is a LuftAmpt e-block rifle assembled in 1941 to equip the Luftwaffe in the face of rifle shortages due to Barbarossa. Less than 4000 produced, they are pretty rare. Some are left-over BSW made receiver blanks, others were Gustloff receiver blanks and a few are scrubbed Gew98 receivers.
Safe to say, probably the rarest regular infantry K98k you are likely to encounter.
Rare enough that BBOTW doesn't even mention them, though Law did have an incorrectly identified photo of a luftampt receiver in BBOTW.
And PS: I'm not clairvoyant about Sigi's rifle - I sold it to him. The last Mauser photo I posted is of the same rifle

It seemed like such a good idea at the time. Im happy I got the car, just sad I had to sell a couple of guns to do it.
Perhaps a few pictures fo the car is in order, haha.
