The one on the right is one of the lost original tools for making Iron Crosses.
Here is a picture of a WW1 recipient.
the chap at the back is getting the tool ready for use.

I'd guess that the one on the right could be a cabinetmakers drilling jig. Four different size gaps for different size pieces of wood and two places to use the drill from so useful across four sizes of timber. Drill size could be appropriate for dowels...
Left hand one is a mini press - dowel pusher ?
