Looking at the .303 casings and the shape and positioning of the primer strikes I would suggest that three different Bren Guns were involved.
The 1942 case has a central strike, smaller than the others. The 1943 cases have a strike near to the edge of the primer pocket. The 1950 cases have a slightly different strike position just off centre. The maker's head stamps are different for each of the years so I'm convinced there were three different Brens. It is very likely that the 1942 and the 1943 cases were fired during the war years.
