Other use for TTS tool holders?

I got a tray of old style (without ability to use ATC) TTS tool holders (Tormach) there are 10 in total plus 3/4 MT3 collet with a draw bar ability.

My first surprise was that on the ER20 holder and a drill chuck holder someone hand ground what looks like Weldon shanks - why would they do that? The remaining TTS holders are for end mills in the 1/8 to 1/2 inch size. Like tiny mini version of the end mill holders for my NMTB 40. They do not have any grindings on them.

Before I try to sell this set I was wondering whatever anyone has an idea of how this can be used on manual machines or some other purpose then on one of the Tormach machines.
