Looks like the short one is a six tube and the tall one is a 5 tube. Yes, there are tube radiators. If you use the Columbia guide, you can figure out the BTU of these two nice radiators.

I don't see any bolts, so they must be held together with threaded nipples.

I finally got around to plumbing in one of those radiators, I put the 5ft long one in the laundry room and couldn't be happier. No mixing valve or TRV? just controlled by a thermostat in an adjoining room. Temps were in the single digits this morning and that thing is just humming along putting out plenty of heat! The EFM is running quite a bit more often but has been able to keep up just fine on 4 teeth still.
