Your #5 shows a completely different weapon that also happens to bear the name "Browning Automatic Rifle".
BAR hunting rifle: rotating bolt, fires from closed bolt position
BAR squad automatic weapon: rising bolt, fires from open bolt position.

One BAR is a prissy boutique hunting rifle with fragile bluing and only 5 shots and the real BAR is a 20 rd magazine rugged full-auto combat weapon to provide the base of fire for a Fire Team.
One is for ambushing deer and the other is for warfare.
No comparison.
