Oboy! I would have to say that there is a definite problem with the lever. Look at how it stands away from the bottom tang. I wonder if the tang is bent (but, WHY?)
I'd say that first one has a bent lever, not a tang problem. It appears that someone forced the lever open on a stuck case, and bent it in the process.
On the first rifle, picture #3 seems to show a crack in the stock
