If these are all 20mm I`d say far right 20mm oerlikon or Hispano? As to others, as no idea as to range location, age & users WWII German experimental or post war Vulcan??
Interesting assortment though.
What did you clean them in? Vinegar, coke or what?
 
20mm AA-Gun range from the germans. range was used from 1936-45. some maybe experimental

cleaned oxalic acid for alu and electolysis for the steel parts

from left to right

2x pzgr40 b (practice, only steel)
3x pzgr40 (alu with core)
1x cored but somethings other then pzgr40, maybe experimental
1x full alu, maybe training, maybe experiemental?!

Cheers for info Munfrosch
Interesting that the 5th from left has such deep rifling over its length.
Also the use of Alu?
Still think the far right looks very Oerlikon/Hispano
Any chance of dimensions please?
 
tomorrow i could take the measures. but 100% german ww2 for 20mm Flak. i think the barrel was shot out
