The Ejector is really a "hardened" part and a spring to boot. There is no telling how many times your original and third broken ejector was pounded before they failed because you didn't possess them for their whole lifetime.
The reproduction ejector (#2) I think broke simply because it may have been an inferior quality.
With the breechblock removed, does the ejector move easily through the slot it is installed in? or is there any noticible friction with the slot?
Use some fine emery cloth to polish the sides of the ejector that could be rubbing the receiver when in use. Also polish the mating surfaces on the frame... that may help.
Once you have done that carefully "feel" the relationship between the ejector and the breechblock as the breechblock moves forward and backward in the receiver... any roughness or sticking there? POLISH POLISH POLISH...
This part takes a beating for a living, making it's life a little easier by polishing certainly can't hurt. No matter how hard you prepare for a beating, eventually you will go down after so much pounding... keep an extra or two on hand for your shooter.
