The left one is maybe a Lee. The middle one is maybe an RCBS or CH4D. The right one maybe a Hornady. MidwayUSA has some pretty good detailed photos of the various shell holders and I'm just trying to compare what I see in your photos with the photos that they have. Help that helps.....

The Hornady shell holders appear to have a curved area for a primer that was not set deep enough to slide into it.

The Redding appear to have a knurled / diamond grip pattern around the edge of the shell holder.

The RCBS appear to have a straight area for a primer that was not set deep enough to slide into.

The Lee appear to have a straight area for the primer that was not set deep enough to slide into plus it appears to have a curved/slanted ramp on the front.

The second photo, the long shiny one, is a J shell holder for a Lyman Tru-Line Jr or Lyman All American press.

I have Lee dies and they came with the shellholders, so all my shellholders are the same. I wasn't aware of the slight variances in the designs of the shellholders. It was kind of an interesting puzzle doing the research necessary to identify them. Ended up learning something new.
