I would give them a bit time. Sounds like he's scoffing his food incase it's eaten for him. Hehe quite natural.
Things will settle down, you'll see. Everything will be fine.

yep, sounds normal to me. My 2 boys always knick out of each others bowls too, so they might be doing that as well.

And to me - natural and normal jostling for position.

Sounds normal to me, Ian! They often suspect the other cat has gotten something better, and want to check it out first, then gobble their own down very quickly !! They sound like healthy happy kittens to me.
