Help with ID on Vietnam Knives

I recently picked up this group of knives. The Western is marked on the blade and back of the sheath with the following -

Thanks for your help!

The sheath for the Western looks like (what I call) a second generation sheath. The 2nd sheath is correct for both, (again what I call), the first and second generation knives. They are distinguishable by how they are stamped on the blade. The 1st gen knife has the Western information stamped on the name side of the knife with the word BOWIE stamped on the reverse side of the blade. The 2nd gen. knife is only stamped on the name side with the BOWIE included.
