Would have been good to hear from Magnus on this one.  He was very particular 
about what clefs he wanted why, and the man knows a thing or two about 
instrumentation.

In his absence, I will hazard that

Those probably want whatever you change the other guitar to.

I'm pretty sure this one uses a regular treble clef, without any octave 
indications, but sounds -15.  I can't find my orchestration book.

They're reeds.  A heckelphone is somewhere in the oboe family, and a chalmeau, 
the clarinet family.  I think.  As such, it's probably a reasonably safe bet 
that they would typically have an implicit transpose, rather than a 
transposed clef.  Eb instruments are definitely in -9, saxophones definitely 
use the same plain treble clef even if they're 40' long with tone holes as 
big as your head.  I think all of the above are of an orchestral and/or 
archaic/traditional bent, so an un-transposed clef seems likely.
