Don't know about the first two but the 311410 is a 130gr. (IIRC) plain base 30 caliber bullet made for the 30 M1 carbine. They made them both plain based and bevel base. Very useful bullet in most 30 cal. rifles.

The 455 490 is most likely a plain based 45-70 mould. Chances are the other one is a 45-70 as well. Pictures would help greatly.
