I got a bunch of stuff in an auction yesterday - mostly what looks like

That last photo is indeed a quick change tool holder for an Emco
Compact lathe, possible the model 5 range. The tool holder part is
identical to the one I removed from my Compact 5PC because I could not
find tool holders under 150-bucks each. I bought Phase II with 5
holders for 80-bucks.

Hmm ... My Compact-5/CNC came with a toolpost which did not
have a hollow square as this one is set up. And it had hex heads
appearing by each tool holding face which operated a cam to pull in the
T-head. Dickson style but smaller than the ones made for the Myford, I
think.

The shop manual for the Compact-5/CNC (and the FB-2 CNC mill)
shows some with bolts all the way through the toolpost to draw in the
T-nuts instead of cams. Could it be that this is of that sort? Except
that the T-slot and T-nut were offset towards one side rather than
centered between the two V ways as they were for the cam-actuated
version which I have.

Enjoy,
DoN.
