    Good Question! I know the use of Suchi, its used for pouring clarified butter Ghee in Yagnas, the first one on the right side is used for Purna Aahuti and/or Sahasradhara, the left most object is kept at the right side of the vedi after the indraya na mama type of mantras the shuchi is touched with that water in the patra.

Prokshani means to sprinkle, so Varuna is invoked into that patra, the rectangular one along with Apa devata with Apa hishteti mantra and two darbha is kept and then the water is sprinkled on the ahutis, kunda etc for suci or purification.

Pranita is the yoni shaped patra, it is for ajyabhag, means, once you offer ahuti of ghee, you have some remaining on the sruk, or the smaller ladle, so you pour the ucchista on water in the pranita to complete the offering.
