For the 1952 George VI 50c coins, the last digit '2' was manually entered on the dies. The Mint reported that 66 Obverse dies were used and so there are 66 date digit configurations posssible. On the examples that you have provided above, the last one is an almost narrow date as there is at least one die's coins out there that you can find with a narrower gap between the tops of the 5 and the 2. The other two coins are about midway to the widest date that you can find..
