Probable Pleistocene Teeth for Identification

[Caverat]

I have a collection of bone and teeth collected in Southeast Missouri caves, usually from gravels in the cave streams. Lots of horse and bison, some camel and very rarely, saber tooth. I have images of two that are uncertain and request some more knowledgeable persons help me with identification. The images have a light blue grid that is one inch. Thanks for any guidance in advance!

I believe both are Peccary

If so, the canine tooth is quite large for Peccary, isn't it?

I agree with peccary.  Platygonus sp.

I certainly see the similarity in the upper canine. Do you have any idea which kind of tooth the other tooth might be from a Peccary? Molar? Upper or lower?

Corrected a bad assumption....

This may help .. definitely a molar.  These images show (p2 - m3)

Thanks! These definitely do help.

Here is another tooth from the same location. I'm unsure of its identity.

Thanks! I'll pursue that possibility.

Based on the sizes (my images have a light blue grid of one inch), The white tail deer teeth appear way too small. I feel the same regarding the peccary molar, however, I've had a suggestion that my peccary remains might be Playgonus cumberlandensis, which I'm told was a much larger species.
