The bottom left image is a Russian Vostok rocket. I think the 'angry alligator' was a failed release of an early Apollo or even a Gemini test docking vehicle. It inspired the Spectre capture ship from the Bond movie 'You Only Live Twice', which swallows both US and USSR capsules.
The top one looks like the third stage of an early Apollo flight after the LEM was removed. It was described as looking like an "Angry alligator".

Gemini 9. I stand corrected.
