Oddly, Bosch did not put their logo on any of these. Yours both look like 
Bosch to me, but I can't say for sure.

I oil the pivots and put grease on the cam and rubbing blocks. You could try 
a small wire brush for the rust, and maybe add some oil or grease on the 
rusty areas to prevent future rust.
