Spitfire parts I.D

Just wondered if anyone knows what these Spit parts are?

Hook item serial starts 30036

Brass item is hollow and marked ‘Top’ on one side, looks a bit like a 22mm cannon shell, but it isn’t.

Thanks.

Spitfire bits

The Hook affair is for holding the battery to the tray in the rear of the aircraft. The hook might have an individual part number I think of 229 however the drawing I have is not the best quality to read the part numbers.

The brass item is the back end of a standard pitot head, probably a Mk VIIIc, stores ref 6A/730.

The hook I know…but cannot bring to mind. I am thinking radio tray….??
