Yes # 151 is an old hoof pick, the marking denotes that it ws probably used for naval horses, which would mean its at least 50 years old.

152 Watchmakers roller jewel setting tool
it's a tool for holding a roller while still mounted on the balance wheel and staff, there is a groove on the inside of the jaws, this holds the roller and doesn't allow the balance wheel to touch the jaws, the roller jewel is held in place with shellac, the long tail is gently heated with a spirit lamp, this softens the shellac so the roller jewel can be adjusted

I haven't verified it anywhere else, but that's exactly what it was marked when I bought it.

150. The nose end of a "burr" used in a die grinder or possibly a milling machine to cut metal.

You have the right idea, but I think it's for wood.
>#154 is a Japanese nail set.
This one isn't a nail set, it's over 140 years old and it's twice as long as the one at the link.
>#150 looks like the top view of carving burr.
Correct.
