The 2 capsules askew mics are 
Sony F-99A (dynamic microphone)
and 
Sony ECM-99 (electret condenser)
the other mic was a Sony owned by a friend, don't remember the no. but I 
think it had 99 in it. Anyway it was very cheap & plasticy looking.

the ECM-99 is OK if you open it up and modify it, and worthwhile if you 
can 
get it cheap ,but I've seen it on sale for over £100 second hand.

If your really on a budget get the Alem 106 tie clip (stereo)
also known as Vivanco EM216, cost you under £30 (under$60). I got this for 
stealth recording and because I didn't want to worry about my expensive 
Sennheiser on holiday. Acceptable results and plenty of bass. Great for 
ambient recordings of Turkish markets (etc. etc)
