Bench Top Lathes???

If you can’t polish the rust off they probably aren’t salvageable. I’m not sure how much you can turn down a yoke and still get the seal to function.

It will also take a 4 jaw Chuck or a face plate (maybe a face plate) to grab it, and certainly use a live center.
you could possibly turn the seal surface down and/or use a "speedy sleeve" to restore the seal area.
