First one looks like it's from a VTLA. However, better pics would be best.

Emerson,Have 2 early Victor turntables----which models do they belong to?
The first picture is a cast iron turntable for the early bevel motor Victor VI, that rides on ball bearings suspended in a metal spider.
(This turntable was also used on the very first Flat-Top VTLA which used the Victor VI motor).
The second picture appears to be the cast iron turntable that was used on the late Victor VI, the VTLA and L-Door XVI, (up until Victor changed to the pressed steel turntable). It rides on a raised platform that is mounted to the shaft. (see pic.).

Re: Indentify Victor early turntables
Thanks to you guys, I just moved 9--- 2nd or 3rd style VTLA's (how do you tell the difference?) and L-Door XVI's from a room they were stored in and now have another question. One draw has very narrow pieces of wood extending on both sides of the front ---were the other draws all seem to be flush? I had to make the machines as light as possible to move them by myself and got some things mixed up. Thanks again
