Yep,the last bullet is a Military type bullet but WW2 period

First pic looks like an old indicator lamp bezel.

Military bullet is probably 50 caliber. My guess because it's a boat tail, and 30 cal. were flat across the base.

And your fired three ringer does look like a civilwar era minie ball.

Im going to measure and weight the bullet tomorrow to try and identify it further.

I think ya'll are right about the 50 cal though.

found this image on this forum and it looks just like the one in the bottom right picture all the way on the right in the picture
