Yep they’re Harvard but also fit other aircraft,

Peter, the two middle images are of a Harvard starter handle, it’s definitely a winter job starting one by hand!

Thanks Rocketeer
I thought the one handle might even be B17 Not sure about the prop pump though? Hurricane??

those handles were used on most US WW2 aircraft including Tomahawk…sometimes for starting, sometimes for winding down undercarriage on the bombers (witness the right hand one)
