The first appears to be a standard BPO type 1 uniselector.  The third is 
a BPO "miniature' uniselector (type 4 if memory serves.)

The second item is rather interesting.  I *think* it's a Siemens 
digit/pulse counting switch, developed by them for their number 17 
system (the one that used motor uniselectors.)  Unfortunately, from the 
pictures it appears to be missing it's wipers, so it's no ore than a 
display piece.

S17 was never used in public service in the UK as far as I am aware, but 
maybe it was in Oz...  One of the big oil companies, I forget which, had 
a big S17 PBX installation in their London office.
