    First and third are alarm trips (press the button to set off the alarm, the key hole on the first one is used to reset, not sure on the third, maybe it's a spring) If you get the alarm re-done, you can use the existing wiring for a control panel. Middle is some sort of bell I think.

    Second is a doorbell I think,

    Agree re others being panic buttons for house alarm

    Second pic might be the internal alarm siren (not all alarm systems have one).

    Panic buttons and 'sound bomb' internal sounder for alarm.

    They appear to be Maplin kit parts, I suspect it was a DIY alarm install.

    Had those installed by a Phone watch Installer in the mid 90's, first pic is a panic button as said, installed at front door or main bedroom, the small circle hole is for inserting a key to push the red button back/off. Second pic is a sounder, and they were very loud.
