The 2nd pic looks like a Japanese bayonet, WWII vintage or so. Hard to tell without being able to see the markings though.
 
The first one is a socket bayonet, looks to be for the 1873 Springfield Trapdoor rifle, but could be earlier maybe Remington Rolling Block. Should be some markings on it.
 
The second picture shows a Japanese bayonet type T30 Arisaka Model 1897-1, designed by a colonel named Nariaka Arisaka in 1897.
It was used on the T30 Japanese rifle.

I have the same model, which has the mark on the ricasso from the Tokyo Arsenal: 4 stacked cannonballs seen from above.
This type of bayonet was used until after WWII, so it's quite common.

Early examples had a fullered blade, a forward curved guard, wooden gripplates, and a rounded steel pommel.
