These files can be used as both GPL 2.1 and GPL 3

This file has a weird license. It is an explicit fork from Qt that is 
dual-license: 2.1 and 3.0

This is true 3.0

This is also an explicit fork, but from KDE, where they are 2.1 and 3.0

Basically, we have four files that are GPL 3. The rest are effectively 
"GPL 2.1 and GPL 3".
