Default Do these lathes look used?

Same question applies to this radial drill:

Check this out. I bought these two lathes from the US Army at Rock

I can see copious rust on one and significant rust on another.

However, I do not see telltale signs of having been actually used,
such as beat up paint near where the headstock meets the chuck.

Comments?
