The major Porsche display was from Frenchman Benoît Couturier : 935 - 550 (Ricardo Rodriguez Riverside '57 winner - chassis 117 - so he claims) - an unknown model to me - 904 - 906 - 907 - 910 - 908/3 - 917 (chassis 036 / never raced).
The other Porsche 917 is chassis 037 (also never raced) and once belonged to Vasek Polak.

Is the SEAT engined light blue single seater an early Selex Formula 1430 or some other Spanish chassis make? It's interesting that it's got a bog stock air cleaner!
T'other blue (metallic) single seater appears to me to be a Brabham chassis with the Apfelbech (sp?) BMW multiport radially disposed valve head F2 engine - used for hill climbing? Was there ever a more complex looking 4 cylinder normally aspirated engine?
And - forgive me my ignorance - what is the bare twin-tube DeDion rear suspended 6 cylinder sportscar chassis?
ETA: I just noticed the radiator on the SEAT-engined single seater
- it may have provided a wee bit of downforce - and a helluvalot of dumb-bell effect, not least raising the centre of gravity not insignificantly! I wonder why they did that? To get more rearward weight bias or to save weight by shorter water tubes? Or couldn't the SEAT water pump service a remote, front-mounted dadiator, but had instead to rely on theromosyphon?;)

I saw it at the BMW pavillion, it's a pre-war BMW sportscar chassis.
About the Seat : I know nothing....
