The very bottom item that looks like a metal block with a short tube attached is an old fashioned bore light for reflecting sunlight into the barrel and viewing the state of the bore from the muzzle.

The device is placed into the chamber and the rifle tilted so sunlight shines onto an angled mirror inside the metal block. Similar items are still to be found of Ebay for 303 SMLE rifles, and Martini actioned 303's.
