Rollers are the most usual culprit and should be cleaned with IPA and then a little drop of lube on the pinions

Important: Isopropyl from the drugstore, not hopster piss beer.

Are all of those white plates that the lenses are mounted on all shutters of some sort?

They look like lens boards, for attaching the lenses to the camera. Large-format lenses aren't camera-specific; they're fitted to shutters (usually), which are in turn mounted to your choice of board (which are mostly standardized around camera types). The shutter is the round thing around the middle of the lens with all the settings and levers.
