How are you measuring the delay?  What are you triggering the oscilloscope on?

Try connecting the transmitter to the receivers through coax, using at
least 30dB attenuation and a splitter, to see if there is a
difference.  It's possible you are seeing "random" multipath delays
due to reflectors in your environment, though 125 ns sounds rather
high for this.
