Default Home built circuits. What are they?

I am trying to identify some of my dads old radio circuits. Does anyone know what these are.
Circuit 0902 is I assume whats left of a basic receiver.
Circuit 0904 & 5 is I think a short wave receiver. Valve line up is EC91 ECC82, 12AT7(MISSING),EF85, 6D2.
Circuit 0906 & 7 is I think a push pull audio amp. Valve line up is EF86, 6AT6 and 2 x EL( also marked 3A2 near base). Transformer is a Wharfdale.

The "short wave" receiver looks more like VHF with that variable capacitor and size of coil- maybe an FM tuner?

This looks to be the case. The first valve EC91 is Triode designed for RF use at VHF. The last valve 6D2 is a double diode which I expect would make up the ratio detector.

Looks like the first is the remains of a little AC/DC receiver, the second I would say is a VHF tuner (judging by the tuned circuit), the third one looks like a push pull output stage (EL33's ?),
