The piece on the right and the one in the middle look like the top of U.S. M51A5 PD fuzes used on any nose fuzed HE projectiles from 75mm through 240mm. There are a number of threads here on BOCN with photos of similar pieces. Projos used on: 75mmH, 75mmG, 75mm RR, 76mm/3inch G, 90mmG, 105H, 155mmG, 155H, 8 inch G, 8 inch H, 240mmH.
