David,
This gets better, or worse from the envy point of view
The jaws should be numbered, and have to be fed into the slots in the chuck body in the right order to meet the beginning of the scroll. The slots may be numbered as well.
The collets should fit into the Headstock spindle, for which there should be a drawbar, usually with a nice big wheel on it.
The lever Tailstock is useful for drilling, reaming or repetitive work.
I like your wall bracket. I'll remember that 'cause as part of my garage refurbishment I'm going to install a small lathe against a wall. I did it once before with a slightly bigger lathe at the old house. Unfortunately that had an attached garage and when doing heavy cuts tended to make the house rumble.
