Winchester did not make an 1895 in .308 Winchester Caliber. Marked 30 Army is 30-40 Krag Caliber. Marked 30 US is 30-40 Krag Caliber. Marked 30 Government is either 30-03 Caliber or 30-06 Caliber Marked 30 Government 03 is 30-03 Caliber Marked 30 Government 06 is 30-06 Caliber FYI: The 30-03 while practically unknown is the forerunner of the 30-06. It is identical to the 30-06 except it has a slightly longer case neck than the 30-06. Since the both cartridges headspace on the shoulder, it is safe to fire a 30-06 cartridge in a 30-03 marked rifle, but not the other way around.
