The second one looks like a deuce rim but the top one looks like it's off of an M105A3 trailer.

The one on the right is a newer one piece wheel that I have seen retro fitted on m149 water buffalo's and gen set trailers in current use that use the deuce pattern. Observed on many military trains as I live in a major conversion of various railroad lines.
The one on the left I have also seen on some trailers other than m105a3. I think the military is trying to get away from lock rings on the remaining rolling stock with old school deuce pattern.

The budd rim is like this;
The bolt holes look different on the ones you have pictured. The first appears to be hub pilot and the second stud pilot. I don't know about their interchangability...but assume it works. Edit....on closer look, the first photo seems to have a bevel, so must be the stud pilot.
There is also a 19.5" (below dual) and 17.5" budd (see A1 above) and for reference a bolster/M1061 rim (16.5") in one piece.
