Can anyone identify these old bayonets?

[Patrick Chadwick]

My meagre knowledge suggests that they both could be British. We need close up photos of the ricasso - the area just in front of the crosspiece, before the start of the edge. Even the faintest of marks will help. For instance, the British proof mark on bayonets is a slightly irregular-looking X-mark, symbolising crossed blades.

The shorter one is an Italian Model 1891. The longer is a WWII Japanese Type 99.

As others have indicated, the longer bayonet is Japanese, a type 30. This one was made by Toyoda Auotmatic Loom Works, under the supervision of Nagoya. This is a common variation of the type 30 bayonet. It is a nice one to have with its scabbard and frog.
