How to open these sitting barrels?

I've seen that I'll have to disassemble and clean the motor of my new French HMV style III tabletop. But after inspecting the spring barrels, I didn't figure out how can these be opened.
They don't seem to have any hole for inserting a tool, nor screws. It's the pre-1921 two spring motor with the sloped regulator, etc.
Any kind soul could give me a clue?
Any of these afternoons I will start with it. But most urgent is to clean the springs and to find the sweet spot at the governor. It's a bit noisy.

so I'm also in front of 'the hard type' of barrel...
