The different model numbers represent different blade types - see 'Tools' below.
The RangerGrip 56, 78, 178 models are equivalent models, but with a Phillips driver on the backspring instead of the corkscrew.
The RangerWood 55 features almost the same tool set as the 55 - omitting the toothpick and tweezers, but with Swiss walnut wooden scales.
They are all the Victorinox versions of the corresponding Wenger models.

History
Victorinox ceased production of Wenger Swiss Army Knives in 2014 , however they decided to continue manufacturing of some of the former Wenger knives under the Victorinox Delémont brand. These are some of them.
