Are they refurbished by apple ? As far as i know third party repair shops cant replace hardware on iphones due to hardware digital protection. Also notice that the model numbers are different than what is normally found in retail
Starts with 5 instead of M

That doesn’t look like an Apple refurbished device.
 
I do wonder though what kind of facility has the ability to change the model number of a phone
