They are all around 3 grams and 27 mm
Are they different or just variations?

Just minor variations. These dies were carved by hand, not machine-copied as modern dies are. The little "V" shape is, as far as I am aware, merely decorative.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

left and right coin : AH1255 regnal year 1 = 1840AD
middle coin AH1255 ry 4 = 1843AD
Constantinopel mint
1 1/2, 3 or 6 kurush
the holes show that the coins were used as decoration for 'belly dansers' costumes
As you can see, the plant right of the toughra are different.
The 'V' could be indeed decoration, I can not find any explanation.
