The dial thingy I believe to be a Metrology depth gauge.. I think Mahr makes them now... works with one of the stands that you have pictured...
Any technology not understood, can seem like Magic!!!

+1 on the depth micrometer.

looks like several tools modified for another use. obviously a shop made depth micrometer. A federal indicator stand that has been modified. May have been done to measure cartridge over all length? Just a wild guess here.
Shop tools as mentioned above modified for "In Line" reloading techniques as the Bench Rest guys do. "Depth Mic" is actually part of the Bullet Seating operation.
Just my WAG's
