Anyone know what kind of molds these are and what kind of hooks and wire these use?

I would say those are early TDM molds. I’m not sure they carried the TDM name early on. They originated somewhere around Kansas City then relocated and the last I knew they were somewhere in Idaho. My dad ordered custom molds from them in the early 60s. Your molds were probably made to take the Eagle Claw 253 or the Mustad equivalent as for wire probably about anything you want to use. With just a little modification you could use most any hook or wire you desired. I have over 100 of those molds in all shapes and sizes of spinnerbaits and jigs. That’s my opinion on yours.

I have one almost exactly like that. But it's been drilled for a weedguard.
