Is there any name plate or part numbers on the pieces that you have?

The second picture looks like the spindle speed selector gearbox cover plate from a universal milling machine . The first is unusual , it looks a bit like a carriage from a capstan lathe but it also could be the carriage for raising and lowering the head of the same universal mill. A few more pictures would help .
