On the Philco sets the newer square one looks to be a 39-40 which is a pretty good performer. Did see a metal tag on the chassis which means it's a Canadian (no rubber wire) also has a rca jack too perhaps has an external input.
The other two you'll need both to get one working. The one on the left is a model 65 and the other is a 77. 65 is nothing to brag about and is missing the two audio output tubes (45's) read $$. Rf and audio stages are stunted a bit (2 rf,det, and power output). The 77 has a better design and will be a better playing set. The spkr should be interchangeable between the two sets but may have a bad field coil. Even though the dial escutcheons are different I'm pretty sure the either chassis can be fitted to either cabinet.
The set w/the green chassis looks to have a pair of 45 tube still in it.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
