Good morning,
Anyone?

For the first, given the grenade marking, French?

Hotchkiss pre ww1 , i think

Hotchkiss Company 47mm / 3Pr. commercial projectiles sold world wide. The rounded band style is particular to them.
!890s and on - I have a case for one of these, but I doubt I'll ever see one in Canada.
The image shows the penetrating types.

I would think so as well, especially since it appears in period literature - Revue D'Artillerie, April-September 1886.
There's also a period photo around 1900, interestingly with a crimping groove, but this is from an export catalogue.

The last one is a bit of a mystery, because the rotating band looks standard Hotchkiss, but it also has a brass front band on the bourrelet and a crimping groove. My first guess would be South-American? It's definitely not one of the better known ones like British / Russian / US/ Japanese / Italian / KuK, etc.
