Yes they are all from the Congo & a very nice trio.. Congo weapons are my favourites.

The first is a Salampasu People Sword from Southern Zaire also widely used by the Chokwe People.

The second is a Mangbetu People Trumbash, as already identified by Jim.

The third, as identified by Mahratt, is a Kuba People Knife called an IKUL.
( Peace Knife )

I can only hazard a rough guess for the age which is late 19th C to first half of the 20th C .

Thanks for sharing.
