Maybe Bitter Wine but the others No.
Those songs were recorded in a day, maybe even first takes only, on the last day of recording.
They were done specifically for b-sides and were never intended for the album.
Edit: I'm going to add a little to this. What made Always an ongoing hit was its single sales due to multiple releases of b-sides or aka maxi-singles. This was more of a record company trick to get someone to buy multiple singles of the same song and not just a Bon Jovi thing.
My belief is that those 5 songs (Wedding Day, When She Comes, Etc) would have never made it past the writing stage but due to the record co request, they were specifically recorded for the use of b-sides and maxi-singles.
Those times were fun because once you got through the album, the next single release would offer extra songs so you ran to the record store just as excited to hear the new music.
