Tim if you do have a Nestle 4th edition, you have an old one. I started
with Nestle 21 in 1955. Two of the passages you are looking at involve the
omission of words [MOU & GAR]. Both are omitted in B which Nestle took
very seriously. I would guess that that is the reason for the italics,
perhaps. In the third instance the omission of EUQUS is likely though the
Nestle-Aland prints it in square brackets.
Just guessing.
