I would agree it sounds like backup files because of the 3
versions of master.cf, the oldest of which (master.cf~2) is from
April. Petri, sounds like it is time for you to find out who and what
is doing what in your system. postfix has better things to do than
play musical chairs with your files. I would also suggest if this is a
production machine for your work to check out something like ansible
or puppet and a source code repository to store your configs.
