The bottom one looks to be just a standard rear to me. The others are called "saddle sights" due to their setting like a saddle over the barrel. They were made by Williams I believe and at one time were in great demand. I've seen them go as high as $50 each but I think the last of mine I let go at about $20-$25 if I recall correctly.

They are the best ever put on a TC barrel in my opinion but do require a different front to work to their best.

  The bottom set is the new model adjustable target sight, the older ones had screw adjustments rather that "click detents".  I like these.

Sorry no I don't know where and it's just been too long since I last had one to accurately describe it to you. It is totally different tho than the normal TC front taller and thinner as I recall more streamlined.
