Hmm, the first photo may have a clamp used on the bed of a milling machine and the thing with the spindle with a hole in it probably fits onto the vice in the third photo to tighten the jaws, the second looks like what's called a 'surface plate' (a specifically flat surface used in engineering, the last photo might also be one) and the next two are machine vices (also for machine tools or for a drill press, ie pillar drill).
Not sure on the other bits I'm afraid. You can use some of this if you want to to clean them up: https://www.bilthamber.com/corrosion-prote...nts/deox-c |

Have to agree with Joe, the two bits with large bolts are hold downs for either large drill of boring machine, you have one and a half machine vice's . The hold downs may have been for use one the one without holes. The large plates are indeed what I refer to as marking out tables, also called engineers flat surface, They should be completely flat and polished, all the corners, vertical and horizontal should be square. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

Here’s one of the hinges I’ve cleaned up showing the B which I assume is a makers mark and a 5 which I assume is the size

I think Joe's assessment is spot on.
The second vice looks remarkably similar to one I made as a first year apprentice many years ago. It was probably an industry standard trading exercise.  |

Just had a second look at your photo's. the item next to the hook looks as if it fits the vice with the slots it should have a fitting that allows it to slide back and forth but not come out of the slot almost like a T shape. Don't make old people mad.

The thimble on the hook clearly indicates that it was attached to a wire cable, probably a winch line.
