Help identifying these cylinder pins

I believe these a Ruger Cylinder pins, but there are obvious differences.  The blue pin has only short retaining cut, while the two stainless pins are both cut all the way around.  I believe these go to Old Model Ruger Vaqueros.  The shorter one with the flat head has me stumped though.

The shortest one looks like the same one I have on my original model vaqueros in 3-3/4” barrels.  
Do you have two of these?  If so bring them on Saturday.

I am 99% sure the upper one of the two longer ones is from Ruger Old Model Vaquero.  Look exactly like the ones in mine anyway.  The middle one is missing the grove on the long side of the pin.

 

Is the middle one possibly from a Ruger Blackhawk 3 Screw?  I do not have any of those to check.

No, I only have one of the short pins, but that would make sense.  I'll bring it along.  I do have several of the other blue and stainless pins.

Could be.  They were in a box of parts.  I have several of the blue and stainless longer pins.  They were all in a box marked only "Vaquero."

It's not off a 3-screw Blackhawk. The Blackhawk pin has no shoulder.

Yes, the middle pin does have a notch on the opposite side of the shoulder.  I'm thinking these all were for Old Model Vaqueros the way they were packaged  and labeled.  They may be aftermarket.  All of the other parts are consistent with OMV parts and part numbers.

The spring loaded pins on the end are for moving the transfer bar out of the way of the firing pin when cocking the pistol. That said, all three look to be from original Vaqueros (pre-New Vaquero). The bottom one is from the "sheriffs model" 3-1/2" Vaquero.

Thank you.
