There is Calypso IV with two second stages on the top of the picture. At least one of the second stages is the 1970’s US Divers second stage (the correct one for that first stage).
The two first stages on the left looks like Conshelf. The one on the very left looks like it has a correct US Divers second stage and a Healthways second stage as an octopus.
The Other Conshelf has three hoses and there is a US Divers (Correct style) second stage that seems to be connected to one of those hoses, but I can’t track where the other hose is leading to.
On the bottom right there seems to be a Healthways (or similar non-balanced piston) first stage. It is hard to tell what type of second stage is attached to it. The rubber exhaust “T” is not clear enough for me to identify it. It is just too blurry.
The two Conshelf are the most usable, but the rest can also be serviced.

Golden!
Thank you for taking the time to help me. That's more than I was hoping, your eyes sure know what they are seeing.
I'm looking forward to making the drive. I've been hoping to come across a Conshelf for a long time now. A pair of them, even better since I usually have a pony, belly bottle or two slung along with me.
The octopus should free up my regular reg set for another loaner unit for my friends or trainees when I'm in 'standard' gear.
Glad to know the parts are available.
I'll post up once I have them in hand.
Thanks again!

I have them in hand after a nice visit with a diver active in the 60s and 70s. Ice diver! Details to follow. Some corrosion but rubbers seem fine. Thanks again!
