THE LAST ONE LOOKS LIKE A SEA TURTLE SHELL WITH THE COVERING MISSING. HARD TO TELL BUT I WOULD GUESS IT MIGHT BE A GREEN SEA TURTLE SHELL A LARGE TYPE HUNTED IN A LARGE PART OF THE WORLD AND I HAVE SEEN SHIELDS MADE FROM THEIR SHELLS.

Hello Lew,

be sure, it's African. You find this typ in the southern Soudan and different nilotic tribes are possible.
Attached mine from the Bari. The shell is very hard and in my opinion a very good protection for every stick figthing match.
