D- These were mixed in with a bunch of taps.

Yea , so A is undefined . too much going on in the pic. B spade drills small diameter C reamer countersink cutter D more spade cutters , could be taper pin 2 flute reamers :dunno: E just a ball end mill
 
A is a tailstock turret. Load it up with tools like center-drill, chucks for tap drill, counter-sink and tap. Poor man's turret lathe. Useful for multiple part runs, not so much for general use. I have 2 with MT2 in case someone needs one. Mine take 5/8 shank tools. Check the other tools to see if they might be sized for the turret.

I thing “d” are those things you insert into the drilled hole in a rusted in screw thread and snap off to make them even more fun to remove!:)
a tailstock turret adapter would be a handy thing to have.

I knew a retired Navy CPO who came on another repair ship to supervise the machine shop, first thing he did was to go to the tool crib and ask the attendant to bring him all the EZ outs, the then proceeded to dump them all over the side, saying "From now on, we're drilling them out"; no more broken off EZ outs to remove. I have always marveled that someone could expect to remove a bolt or stud that had been twisted off with a tool that is likely half the diameter of what you are trying to remove, the worst ones are the spiral fluted type, as they wedge into the metal and expand its diameter making it even harder to remove. The best that I have used are the square type, I think made by Proto.

That would be fully consistent with my experience. :)
