MG TD TF 1500 - Anybody Know?

Given that this site is frequented by the most brilliant mechanical minds on the planet, I thought I would ask if anyone knows what vehicles these are associated with. Most likely not MG (one on right says Made in the USA), but it seems likely that they are jacks..larger one has traces of green and the other has traces of red remaining. I picked them up a few weeks ago in a junk pile and threw them in rust remover for a couple of weeks (wonderful stuff that Evapo-Rust)....Thoughts?

The style with the flip top was used for trucks, I believe US made, earlier versions of that style were used for horse drawn wagons. The one with the enclosed gears is a strange one to me. PJ

Bill, I have the exact same jack as the one on the left. The guy I bought it from said it was a Ford Model T jack. Right under the horizontal ring gear the number SJ660 is stamped with the number 6 stamped under those numbers. Along the vertical shaft, near the top, on the side opposite the vertical gear is stamped NO with 16 stamped under that. A Google search identifies it as a Model T or Model A jack. Some descriptions describe it as a truck jack.

This is identical to a jack I have for trucks, it doesn't have the flip top, but it's very heavy, not something you would want for a car. I have quite a few old jacks, for cars, trucks and horse drawn wagons, all buried in boxes in the barn.
