Same spammer probably - you could easily filter that into Junk.

It's proxy/trojan abuse.  Spammer sends a bunch thru' each abused proxy,
rotating around which IP to abuse.  You get 'one' from each of the
abuses.

Same MO - modus operandi - for each of those;  I checked the top 3, they
are all listed in multiple abused proxy/trojan db/s.  If you were
filtering using those dnsbl/s, such as cbl or dsbl or something which
represents similar such as spamhaus, then all of those would be
spamidentified and in your Junk folder without even using the body.
