the 1950 seems to be an off centre strike.
the first 1963 coin could be a clip
The 2nd 1963 coin looks like PMD

Thanks everyone! Is the correct term for the 1950 threepence a misstrike, broadstrike or misaligned die?

If the reverse is perfectly centered, it was struck with misaligned dies. If the reverse is uncentered in the same direction as the obverse and the coin has a slightly larger than normal diameter, the coin was broadstruck.
