The third one is really odd. It's a 2 lane extended to the main road to allow access to an overpass.

Historicaerials shows that this Y interchange has existed as far back as 1946.

Well, it looks like someone has never heard of the Blue Ridge Parkway...
If you ever feel useless, remember that CR 504 exists.

Strange proto-interchange between US-65 and the Lincoln Highway in Colo, IA.  At the time it was built, the Lincoln was still US-30.

Why would they build interchanges for 2-lane roads though?

There are areas where cross traffic/terrain make it beneficial to do so even if the roads themselves don't merit 4 laning.
