Looks like you have an outfit for demilling military ammo for reloading and reuse.

Pix 1 and 2 are primer pocket swagers. Military shells needed the crimp removed from the primer pockets before it could be reprimed. Next pic looks like a hand tool for reaming the crimp out of the primer pocket instead of swaging it out. I think the last die is a bullet puller. It should have a collet in it and a tommy bar to go through the hole in the top to tighten the collet over the bullet.

I think you got a primer pocket swage set too.

but the silver die could be a swage die depending on if the top knob is a push [knock out] rod or not.

top knob is a screw type w/ a pin and what type of collets would i need for the black die?

The black, bullet puller uses Forster collets. You are lucky to have two "buttons" for the primer pocket swage set. Too often they get lost. Good catch.
