I can't think of any mythological trio of masculine types...

at least, not that were commonly represented and not extrapolated from the original female-trio (i.e. I'm not counting trios of baby-man-old man)
So then I'd have to think about the three in terms of their characteristics and see if they represent "types of men".
Perrin: thoughtful, strong, wolf/bear-like
Mat: charismatic, wily, "womanizer", gambler, resembles a fox/cat/crow (I think he reminds me more of a crow than a raven)
Rand: ...I'm not sure. I've always had the hardest time really putting my thumb on Rand's character which is unusual for me. Looking at only his original characterization (before all the "crazy" interfering) he seems the most "normal". Different, a follower (Tam, often ends up being dragged into Mat's games), more "dog-like" than any wild animal. BUT, this is with a different type of characterization from the AUTHOR (i.e. characterization of the hero vs. his friends) So I've never really had a good answer...
So it seems I don't really have an actual answer for you...but maybe someone can take my thoughts and move them forward?

What would be the trio of masculine archetypes, and how would the ta'veren fit them?

The fact that you would call the Holy Ghost a vessel in that sense shows how little you know

I wonder if those are the archetypes on which the buddy-cop dynamic is based.

The Father, the Wanderer and the Wise Old Man are in most myths and Jung wrote a lot about them
