The extra condensed sans is similar to Raleigh Gothic, one version of which is here...

As to the various blackletters shown, a hundred years ago and more, it wasn't unusual for foundries to offer special nameplate/masthead styles for newspapers. The product listings showed samples, but I have yet to see a specimen book with a complete alphabet showing of these special-purpose faces…which is another way of saying that it's possible no one has digitized these particular faces yet.

That'd be a shame if true - these blackletter styles are quite elegant I must say.
Anyone know the serif fonts used in the image?

"U.S. EXECUTIVE", headline looks like you could use Cheltenham in its extra-condensed form.
