From your pictures, I suppose that you have 2 telescopes and one (empty) sighting tube D.

The telescopes are: Kepler (inverting, with cross-wires) consisting of A, C2, and

Galileo (straight) B1. Accordingly there must be two eyepieces, and your picture only shows one, F.

Since the piece C2 has a lens, this must be the eyepiece of the Kepler scope. So F is the eyepiece of the Galileo. Check, the lens F must be negative, and the lens in C2 must be positive. All other lenses are positive. Asembly: piece C2 must be inserted onto piece A; you obtain your Kepler scope.

Piece F must screw to B1; you obtain a Galileo scope. Now to focus the Kepler scope, look at a remote object and try to focus.Simultaneously you have to see the wires clearly (even if they are slightly damaged).

What surprises me is that apparently your Galileo scope cannot be focused, possibly some part is missing here.

Now, one common mistake, which I once made myself was the incorrect assermbly of lenses (after disassembly with removing them). The positive lenses are semi-convex, they have a front surface and back surface. If you install them incorrectly, you cannot focus the Kepler scope onto a remote object and wires simultaneously.  

The shade (filter) must be screwed on top of the eyepiece C2 when checking index with the help of the Sun.

Which of the telescopes cause you trouble, and what is exactly the nature of this trouble? Are all lenses clean and have no chips? If the wires are very much damaged and cannot be fixed, you can just remove them. Most modern sextant telescopes do not have them, except SNO, and there was a long discussion in this group on what they are for.
