The smaller of the E6Bs appears to be a CPU-26. Basically the same as the bigger E6B except smaller.
I have no idea what Scotty's whiz wheel is. I was rather hoping it would be something cool like a Polhemus or a CPU-50 (astro-tracker field of view computer for the Hound Dog missile). The latter is quite striking visually but in this time period likely would have been Top Secret.
