Well, for the Nikkor lenses, you will need a Nikon F mount to EOS mount adapter. They can be found on eBay for very low prices. I have a bunch of Nikon lenses that I adapted to a T2i, and I paid very little for the adapters. That 135mm (13.5 CM) Nikkor Q f3.5 lens was manufactured in the early 1960s. (Serial numbers for that line, 720101 to 847290 were made from June of 1959 to June of 1969). The 35mm f2.8 Nikkor-S was also manufactured in the early 1960s (Serial numbers for that line, 176911 212382, were made from February of 1962-November of 1966). You got the lenses for very a very good price.

The Canon FD lenses may be an issue with the T2i. The flange to focal distance on the Canon FD mount is shorter than it is for the EOS system. To use the FD lenses with the EOS camera mount you will need to use an FD to EOS mount adapter, but because of the flange to focal distance is shorter, and a straight mechanical adapter would interfer with the Canon mirror, the FD to Canon adapters have an additional optical element in them. Depending on the adapter, this may eat up some of the light (Make the lens slower) and may introduce some softness. I have not used them, so I would check around about them.

As or the other lenses, they are made by 3rd party manufactures and could be made for several different types of camera. I sorry but I can't tell by looking at them what they are.

Here is some info on the Nikon lenses:
