These do not look like domestic sousaphone parts.
The neck looks 'King-ish' but the bits are not like anything I've seen before.
Could be they are Asian in origin and making a feeble attempt to copy the post-1987 Conn Selmer production tubas EXCEPT for the 20K.
I'd say contact the seller and if he cannot give you specifics... don't buy 'em.

At $125 they are also a little expensive there are other sets on ebay for under $100

That first link is a little confusing... a SET consisting of a neck AND two bits will cost you $135.
The second link appears to be King bits.

he's selling a lot of Mexican/banda- oriented stuff. Being chrome they aren't typical for a Conn (as stated in the ad) and the neck looks more King, but the bits don't really look familiar at all.

Those, as John Cleese put it, are the "naughty bits" ...
