Some big bore rifle stuff, maybe help me identify them

Going left to right with some guesses, the first one (the headstamp seems unreadable) no clue the bullet is 0.440" or like 11mm, the second was marked with a tag that says 404 Nitro, no headstamp. The third has the headstamp RWS 10.3 x 60 I believe. The fourth no clue but the bullet is 0.430". The fifth again no clue and the bullet is 0.390". The last two I don't have a clue but the headstamps are somewhat legible, bullets are both 0.430" but one seems to be more bottlenecked than the other. A loose tag marked 11.3 x 58 R was with some of these but not attached and could belong to one of the cartridges.

Found up in the hills

I found these up in the hills yesterday. They are unusual for the area and there weren’t any others of this type other than these two shells. I can see that one is for a Mauser 7.63 (which is really odd), but I’m not sure about the other one. The other detail is that the non-Mauser one appears to have split. Does anyone have any insight about these (especially the non-Mauser one)?
