Table Insert Identification

I recently acquired a Shopsmith Mark V with a 520 upgrade. The package included table inserts which I am attempting to identify. I've looked on Shopsmith's website but still need your assistance to confirm that I am correct and to properly identify the other two inserts which I am uncertain about. Are the starter pins an add on or does the insert come with the starter pins as reflected in the Shopsmith screen shot? The 6 of hearts and the 3 of hearts are similar except the diameter of the 3 of hearts is larger compared to the 6 of hearts. Are they used for shaping/routing? If Shopsmith stamped the inserts with their intended purpose, it would make things easy for newbies like me who purchase on the secondary market.Thanks in advance!

You have them all correctly identified.
The shaper insert should have came with the pins, I don't see them listed separately.
This post shows the dimensions of the pins, so you could likely make a set by modifying a 3/8-16 bolt.

That's what ctrl + (zoom in) is for.
