They look similar to a shake or shingle hammer. I seem to remember them being called cribbing hammers.

I don't know about the one on the right but the one on the left is known as a lathing hammer (Plaster walls etc.).

The one on the right looks a bit like an ice hatchet, although normally you see them with a much more rounded blade edge and the other end with a sharp spike.

Larger one looks similar to a  shingle hatchet but there is no nail puller V in the bottom.

This one is a  L. A. Sayre & Son Newark NJ

TBH, sometimes there really isn't a difference. L. A. Sayre & Son's lathing and shingling hatchets were actually identical, except for the addition of a guage.
