All three are flintlocks. The middle gun appears to be of North African or eastern origin.
A couple of thing to look for on flinters -- is there a screw on the end of the pan, providing better rigidity? Is there a stirrup connecting the pan spring to the pan? These are marks of quality construction, and they appear to be missing on your guns.
That leads me to believe the long arm and lower pistol were "made for the trade" -- sort of off-the-shelf guns, probably used in Africa in the early 1900s.
Guns have been made for the tourist trade in Africa and the Mid East for at least 100 years.
Just so you know that it's possible for these guns to be "old", yet still not worth much as they were originally made to be sold to tourists and those guns are still fairly common.
I can't tell for sure, but I would guess they are tourist trade guns as well.
I am struck by the similar look of the hammers on the two pistols. From the photo they appear identical, yet the style of the pistols suggests two different continents.
