How do mw-p6510 and mwt-6510 differ?

The green tool cut to the left and the red tool cut straight or to the right. The tools work as expected on metal roofing.

will these cut a brass kick plate ?

If the brass plate is not too thick it will be able to cut it easily, otherwise it will leave a rough edge.

Would this be a good tool to cut hardware cloth/wire mesh? It says it's serrated which makes me think it might not work as well? Recommendation?

My lefthand and righthand shears are not serrated. I don't know why sheet metal shears would be. I suspect you have gotten erroneous information. I can only offer my opinion about cutting hardware cloth with sheet metal shears. I wouldn't do it, simply because I value my excellent sheet metal shears more than using them for a job for which they are not intended. If you have a substantial amount of hardware cloth cutting, you might get lower quality sheet metal shears and just sacrifice them for that job. The Midwest shears would do it, but I think much cutting of heavy hardware cloth would nick the edges and dull them. If you have just a moderate amount of light to medium weight hardwar cloth to cut, you might use a set of diagonal cutters. That is what I would do.

Would these work for shortening a U-shaped aluminum bar?

Not very well and only if the material was quite thin, not what I would describe as bar stock. If it were me I would use a fine toothed hack saw or in my case I have a Fein Multi-master with a fine toothed metal cutting blade. These will not work on a U shaped stock without cutting both the upright legs first and bending the bar at those cut points to about a 135 degree angle to get these in where the jaws were not obstructed by the uprights. But again these are sheet metal shears not intended for thick material or shapes other than flat stock or where multiple cuts can be made for different directions that meet to effectively have been made in flat material.
