Picked up a bunch of random regs. Would appreciate any help identifying these.

I will update as I find more information myself. TIA

You've answered most of your own questions.
The metal 2nd stage is a USDivers with a Scubapro hose. .... orifice is not part of the hose.
Apeks 1st stage appears to be a US4.
Dacor Eagle 1st stage is the same as a Mares MR12.
 
The metal reg could be a vintage US Divers/Aqualung as well. It looks very similar to an Aqualung Aquarius I have that dates from 1972. In any case I'd be thinking in that kind of vintage.

If it's a US divers/Aqualung it will have a serial number above the plastic exhaust vent and below the mouthpiece. The first two digits will be the year of manufacture (if it is what I think it is).

Thanks. Ill try to remove it from the hose. Wasn't sure since the hose is round with no flat edges.

It does. First two digits are 77.
 
BTW - that is a ScubaPro hose (splined) on the metal second

Just to be clear, that is one of a number of way that scubapro uses to keep you from treating their regulator like you own it
 
Was able to get the orifice off the hose. Looks like the orifice has a minor nick in in. Not sure if it is bad enough to prevent a seal. =\

Yeah, so that's the age of it. I still have an Aquarius from (I believe) 1972. I made about 600 dives with it when I first started diving and always found the second stage to be perfect.
