Looks like 37x94 mm rounds for the UK Maxim "pom pom" from WW1 and/or before. The first projectile looks rare with only 1 driving band!

HONOURED MEMBER RIP
The one with one band maybe a Boer War example of the Boer home made shells.Would be nice to see the headstamps, if any, on the cases.
I agree with Highlandotter, that the last one has the same band profile as a Boer made example, but the rest of the body of the projectile does not seem to match the example shown below or maybe it is just a little corroded also the fuze should have Delphis Pretoria stamped on the top if it is one of these. Gordon should be able to shed a little more light on this,
