I can offer no answer, but those are some mighty interesting sight-parts!

The one on the right looks huge for a shoulder arm.
I quite like the design of the other two. The middle one gives me a shopmade vibe.
Sorry I can’t be of more help. Neat pieces though! I love old accessories like this.

old sights
I think the sights are homemade and very interesting too. Most all of the manufacturers put some type of number or letter code or even the name (Marble of Lyman) on their sights.
I made a large tang rear sight for a Remington rolling block in 45-70 caliber, I only fired black powder loads with a 500 gr lead bullet or paper patch lead bullet. There were three inch steel round plates at 100 yards and when I could constantly hit these plates, I then scribed a line on the tang, the 200 yard plates were more work.
Also made a nice rear sight for a 22 rim fire rifle that I built too

Left hand one might be part of a stamp or embossing machine, right hand one might be for alignment of instruments or machines.
