1-3 would be the ordynary way to indicate a rhythm with a pulse on beats one and three in a threetime bar.
Using
1-3, 3-1,

is not quite correct technically but very speaking as it seems to refer to the fact that in the common way to play music in threetime on the hurdy-gurdy one bar starts with a downwards coup and the next starts upwards.

About the next ones:

1 2 3 1 -&-

I adapted Mitchs way of describing the beats - without including the down and up part. Here every character/space equals one eight-note (or would also fit: one quarter of a turn of the wheel). I just put numbers at places where there is a buzz. As there needs to be a buzz with the "two and" in example two and three I indicated it with the "&" sign.
