Spitfire parts I.D.

Can anyone help with the following
1st item is a MOD plate. Not sure what information can be gleaned from this or where it would have located
2nd Haven’t been able to find a part number yet. I would guess some sort of bomb release ?
3rd item with a partial part number of 300 35 *3. The mounting bracket is 300 27 41 BG37. The rusty steel tube contains a spring and cable
4th item another plate. part number 300 36 1265 B**277A Has the words ‘Undercarriage Ind’ ‘horn’ ‘heat A.S.I.’ ‘Comm’ ‘nav’

Thank You

Second item is the flare chute pull ring, mounted on Frame 9, left hand side if you are sitting in the cockpit.

Third item is indeed the harness release box from an early aeroplane – Its mounted on the spine longeron behind the aerial.

The panel is a mounting for terminal blocks and lives on the port side of the fuselage, under the fillet fairings.

Sorry third item I’m told, is an early MKI seat belt release part still attached to frame 15. Has anyone got any diagrams or pictures of the mechanism

Possibility of the second item been a flare release part whilst the third item is an early harness release part ??
