First set picture and I'm already confused... why is the silver armor there if it's already turned into war machine?

nobody asked why mark 1 was in that picture when it broke apart over the desert in the first movie?
That's because Obidiah Stane reacquired it from the Ten Rings when they pieced it together in Afghanistan, and had engineers use it as a model for the Iron Monger suit back in California. Did you see the movie? - Pepper Potts and SHIELD agents are looking for Stane in the bowels of Stark's factory, and they come across it.
Phil Coulson: "Looks like you were right. He was building a suit."
Pepper Potts: "I thought it would be bigger."
Anyway, Stane jumps out in the huge armour, fights with Iron Man, dies and we assume Stark took it back for display in his case. Maybe if I looked at Iron Man 2 right now, I'd see it there in the wall.
As far as the Mark II goes, perhaps Tony created a mock-up after it went on to be turned into the War Machine armour, just for sentimental reasons.
