Default Bayonets

First of all...the first picture did not come out very well. The next two pictures are clear but I can't tell the length or the width of the blade.
It appears that they are Epee Baionnette MLE 86/93. Originally the MLE 86 C1889 Model.
It fit the famous Lebel Rifle 1886. During WWI in 1915 improvements were made to the press stud and the quillons were removed.
You have possibly the shortened version.
Would love to see a photo with ruler to give indication of the length and width.
