USGI clips eject from my 1903's. I don't have a Rem 03 or A3, so I cannot speak for those.
USGI clips have rounded corners to push the ejector out of the way. Mauser clips do not, so I use USGI clips with one tab remaining and tweak the other end with pliers for a little tension and just be careful in matches
