The rabbit ears with holes indicate it's two AI/Ais or AI-converted lenses
The position of the AI coupling ridge is at the 8+2/3 position , so these lenses are either f:1.8 or f:2 lenses max aperture

Max aperture of 1.8 or 2 leaves us with a 50mm as the most probable choice for both lenses

The lens on the R has three screws, so it's possibly the 50mm/1.8 AIS produced around 1982
The lens on the L has five screws, so it's possibly the 50mm/2 AIS produced around 1977

I don't think any of the lenses are AIS as the milled slot is missing so a camera like the FA could recognize the lens and use its special Program mode?

The AI coupling ridge is wider on the lens on the right. So f/2.8? In which case we might speculate a 35mm f/2 or a 50mm f/1.8 and a 24mm f/2.8.

I'll settle for a jelly baby.

ture, the AIS and AI lens

you can identify them from the crew numbers, the milled slot and the width of silver ring and  the rabbit ear (folded/sheet metal or milled metal type) and...

These are either Ai or AI-converted lenses.  Might be 50/2 (left) and 35/2.8 (right), perhaps?

on the subject of new toys, I found an M42 mount Meyer Primotar E/ "red V" 50/3,5 on a local market yesterday and could not resist picking up this late Tessar copy. No guessing games needed for identifying the constuction (aperture close to the rear lement like a reversed Elmar).

Not very high contrast even with its unusual  focussing-aiding extra aperture opening beyond 3,5 (when closed down to f/8 afterwards.) but robust mechanics even if not of Nikon smoothness.

the clear edge light spot in the bokeh is the feature of this lens
