Antiaircraft fragments?

More detecting finds. I have amassed a large collection of the usual small ribbed pieces of anti aircraft shells over the years and was wondering if these 3 were also anti aircraft or something else. The large piece on the left is 125mm tall and weighs 800g.
Anyone help with identification please?

Interesting they do look like shells,that would be shell bearing halves .Large on from a cart wheel.Thet hex shape and side lugs would be to stop the bearing half from rotating in its cap/housing

Hi John
Thanks for that. Cart wheel parts makes sense as they were found on farmland.
