Your RAID disks have a 1 MiB data offset there. 
If nothing was ever written on the XFS filesystem, 
it might still be intact.

If you have an overlay for these disks you can try your luck 
with mdadm --create /dev/md42 --metadata=1.2 --data-offset=1M --chunk=512 --level=5 ...
--assume-clean /dev/overlay/disk{1,2,3}

Check --examine if it says the same things for device size. 
You already verified partitions should be the same but still...

Then see if there is data on it or no (even if there is no filesystem, 
try a carver like photorec, if it gets an intact file larger than 3*512K 
the raid settings might be correct).

photorec won't work if the data was encrypted.

If there is no data, try a different disk order if you're not sure you got it right.

Good luck
