Wire for 50A 220V Service - 110' run

The short piece consists of three wires. Two are #2, the other is #4. This is what it says on the wire:
2 AWG AL USE-2 600 VOLTS
and
4 AWG AL USE-2 600 volts.
The long piece is also three wires:
6 AWG AL USE-2 600 VOLTS
Currently, there is a four-wire shielded 8 AWG buried cable running from the breaker box to the barn where I keep the RV. I have a 30 amp 110v hookup on that. That cable was there when we bought this place almost 30 years ago.
