Dan, I find vintage vehicles and machinery most interesting. Nicely done.
The only comment I have would be to perhaps burn in the the lighter patch (top left) on the first image.
The second image has some OOF elements that are a little distracting on the left side but it occurs to me you may have been limited in camera position for this shot.
Did you use the 100mm macro?

[Chataignier]

Interesting machinery shots, I wonder what they would look like in B/W ? I love the decoration on the gauge.

[DanK]

thanks, folks. Len, I had my 100mm macro with me, but it turned out to be too long a FL, so I used my 24-105mm. All of these are focus-stacked. Good suggestions about edits. I'll try burning in both cases.

Re B&W: I think they lose something in B&W, but feel free to fiddle and see what you think.

The suggestion of trying B&W is a good idea. ¹
