Sorry for the late reply – I have been in Asia on business.
The larger piece – top right – I have an identical piece which I purchased from John Manning several years ago from the Dutch Lancaster recovery. It was thought to be from the wing.
My piece is stamped 9R2060 ; BK ; KB and an inspectors stamp of SMTE and 38 in a circle.
I use it daily as my pocket change keeper.

If the thread on the “cable adjuster”is threaded 5/16 B.S.F. [LEFT HAND AND RIGHT HAND] then I have just made two of them ….for the chain/cable adjustment in the pilots control column

Kirmington, they were fitted in the throttle control box in the cockpit in front of and slightly below the main panel they are also fitted in the cockpit floor/bombayroof to bring the control runs aft and then out to the wings.

Below right is a cable tension adjuster (without the end eyes). Could well be from control cables, similar ones were (as New Old Stock postwar) re-used in flying wire assemblies of T38s and Primaries.

Hi Peter,thanks for your reply.Am I right in saying that the sprocket would be located not within the engine (I have NO idea about these things!).Any ideas on the other pieces?

Piece in the top left is an engine control sprocket would have had a chain on it to control such things as pro pitch throttle or fuel c0cks
