Both smaller statues are Thai. Please see if the one on the left resembles the picture I have posted here. The one on the right, which is also shown in the 2nd picture, is a statue of Nang Kwak, who beckons good fortune and business for shops and homes.
Recently made Thai statues are gold painted rather than decorated with gold leaves. These brightly painted statues are therefore not old, sorry. They are definitely not 19th century, not antique and not rare.
I cannot comment much about the larger statue. The colour of the bronze, the poorly done hands, fingers and ears, amongst other things, make me doubt that this is a Ming. It looks like a poor modern copy.
If you please show the base of the statue, maybe it can provide more clues. Buddha statue experts in this forum may also provide better answers.
