Thank you Kubur.

Now, I wonder how the surplus stirrups ended up in Calatayud?

For the captions:
Etiquette: "Etriers de Moha ou Hassan el Zaiani tué le 13 Novembre 1914; pris dans sa tente par le moghazni Omar el Zaiani et donné au Cne Ract-Brancaz blessé dans la matinée.

Then, there could be an Italian connection from North Africa to Ottoman?

The ones at the bottom are said to be Milanese XVIth century.
