These look like hashes of the current and some old passwords of the
user. Each line contains an LM and an NTLM hash. As Minga has
correctly pointed out, the LM hashes on your post somehow lack some of
the characters, yet the rest of your post suggests that the file on your
computer actually has all of the characters intact, so I'll assume that
you made some sort of copy and paste error when posting the hashes to
the list.

You have already figured this out, but for those reading the list
archives here are references to the rest of this thread and to the
relevant old posting:

You got all of the LM hash halves cracked. Apparently, the user had
been changing the password many times, which is why there are so many
different guesses. To get the halves combined as appropriate and to
ensure you get complete results, you should use "john --show".

Apparently, you ran the above command with _some_ of the hashes already
cracked and stored in your john.pot file. Specifically, the second half
of the LM hash in 1.txt was already cracked, which is why it was not
loaded/cracked/reported again. This demonstrates nicely that you ought
to be using "john --show". The passwords printed while JtR is running
are not its complete/final output; they're mostly to give you an idea of
the current status of your JtR run while it is still in progress.
