The Royal cypher E II R on the third and fourth swords clearly point to post 1952. Could the third one be a contemporary Household Cavalry sword?

The fourth one is definitely a British general's sword, the pattern of which hasn't changed for over 150 years. If you contact Wilkinson's, they may even be able to tell you, from the number 7455, to whom they sold it!

The 4th sword is a Mameluke styled sabre adopted by the French and British after their campaigns in Egypt.
