In the first picture, the K frame stocks are not properly matched. The middle two panels have the sharp shoulder and go with each other. The outer two also go together, as they have the more tapered shoulder.

Based on the checking pattern, the sharp shoulder pair are from 1946-1952. But, there is no divot for the round head screw, so this pair is from the latter half of that period.

The tapered shoulder K frame set is from the 1953- c. 1967 period. After that, the diamond disappears.

The N frame pair is also quite early. Not only is the shoulder sharp, but you can see the divot for the round head screw.
