First one looks to be an APDS tank projectile.
L1 perhaps?

The first one is most likely a 120 mm Tank A.P.D.S/T projectile.
The second looke very much like a nice condition 76 mm ARMDC Base Ejecting Smoke shell fitted with the standard 390 Mk 1 pyrotechnic time fuze.
The third one looks like it may well be a 25 pounder H.E. or Practice H.E. fitted with a dummy nose fuze "REP 117".
Without measurements it is not possible to positively identify!

Very unsure about first one but second one is I think a 165 MM Royal engineers wallbuster round ? 165 mm Calibre ?
Third one is a 1105 mm Field Howitzer projectile-HESH (hopefully inert filled?) and the second one of the pair is a 105 mm Field Practice Squash Head projectile (Prac S H) Nice items !
