What did I buy?

First post here, I’ve been on bladeforums for years and just started getting into traditional knives. I just won these two and haven’t even received them yet but I’d like some more information about them. I thought this would be a good place to start, any info you can give me is appreciated.

I think the blade/caplifter might be military issue? It looks like it’s missing a bail maybe? No idea what the other is or what the 4th, unopened blade is.

Seem to have the older Camillus tang stamp. Both look like honest old knives. ::tu::

The unopened blade is a can opener.

Is there any way to tell the age of a Camillus? I know case marked theirs with dots so you could tell the exact year for at least the70’s. Is there a Camillus database I can find out more about these?
