Welcome to the forum.

The triangular shaped one looks like a pre-upgrade E46.
The second pic (LPS602) looks like an E36.
The bottom LPS612 looks like an E34.
The indicator looks like an E36

Are they genuine parts? If so then look the part numbers up on http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partxref.do

LPS602 is probably an e36 coupe - '92 to '96/97.  Don't think there was a difference between early coupes and M3.  e36 M3 Evo (from early '96) had clear indicators on the rear and the rest of the range of coupes got them from late'96/early'97 iirc.
Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.

Prev:
e46 328i SE Touring, 330Ci, 318Ci.
e39 523i SE.
e36 325i Coupe *2, 323i SE, 316iSE.
e30 325iSE 2dr, 320i Conv, 320i 2dr, 316i.

M3 clear rears fitted straight onto my Dec94 coupe. (Front indicators ARE different though)

Looks remarkably like an off side rear Mercedes E-class boot lamp!

LPS 612 looks like the offside rear on a mkIII VW golf!

Are you sure they are all BMW lamps?

Hehe - for a start he is a she!!!  I acquired these and was told they were BMW lights so I was trying to find out exactly which cars they were for and then i could sell them on.  Funny enough my partner is doing the booty on Sunday but hadn't even thought or selling the lights there!!!  (I was thinking the fleabay!)

So possible different cars but was def told they were for BMW.

Hmmmm...

Well I satisfied my curiosity on the Merc lamp and I think I may have been correct but I have checked out the golflamp and it's slightly different.

This is an image of an e-class rear lamp, smoked version but you get the idea....

You could always try looking on auto trader or ebay, any cars with decent pics will give you a good idea of rear lamps.

Front indicators are the same, its the side repeaters that are different post facelift!

No saloon and coupe are different for all but the repeaters, the bit above was about early / late model compatibility.
