All of the multiplayer unique items can be dropped by some normal monster of the appropriate level range.
Some unique items, including the ones you are looking for, can only be dropped by very low level sources. Since bosses always get a +4 bonus to level for item drops, no boss can drop these items. For example, if Pukerat the Wuss dropped a unique short bow, it would be the Needler instead of the Rift Bow. Actually even a unique bow found on the floor of dungeon level 1 (ilvl 2) or a barrel there would be a Needler. So the only way you can get a rift bow is from non-boss skeletons, fallen ones, zombies. And when those guys drop a short bow, it is going to be a plain old short bow most of the time.
