Help with Spitfire parts identification

Hello All,
Have some spitfire parts which I have been unable to indentify, where I have been able to find a part number I have checked the parts manuals for the Mk1/2 and the Mk V/9 &16 which I have copies of but cannot find the part numbers listed in any of them.
Other parts I have not found any part numbers but as the other parts are made up of 08 and 62 prefix then can only assume they are all related to wing armament area.
Any assistance greatly appreciated
Regards

Jay

I think they are guides for the 20mm cannon and attach through the spar web.

Thank you gentlemen, I had another look at the last 2 and found the numbers 361 in the smallest of them but that was all, nothing on the bigger one.

36162/677 is a clamp for a coolant or oil pipe. I think it bolts on rib 1, but stand to be corrected.

I think 34908/14 is similar, but for a gun heating tube.

33008/641 is part of the spar web assembly

Some of the others are familiar, but I canr immediately bring them to mind
