Hi @jeepguy88
Some guesses on those parts:
Part C: @pineyfolks nailed it.
Part A: looks to me like a dressing tool for a grinding wheel. If so it should have a weird looking little stone in the middle of the rounded end of that horizontal shiny cylinder.......an industrial diamond.
Part F: that's the "banjo" for your Southbend. It's a bracket for holding gears. The big hole has a split clamp to lock around a hub near the input of the quick-change gear box. The slot is used to mount a bolt that holds a change gear.....the slot allows you to change gear sizes and adjust for the new centre-centre distance. I'll see if I can find a picture of one installed.
Could a number of other parts be a milling attachment? maybe?
By the way....Do you have a model number for that lathe? That would help in finding documents. You can also poke around here:

EDIT: here's a picture from a 1980 Southbend 14" manual showing the "banjo"
