Lancaster Parts – ID Help Required!

Recently, we have been assisting a local landowner in trying to ID a crash which occurred in 1945, beleived to be a Lancaster.
We visited & recorded the site recently and discovered a few small parts, from stamps on these we have established that it was indeed a Lancaster that came down.
Among the small fragments of remaining wreckage, we discovered the following items (clickable thumbnails):

If anyone can identify these, please feel free to contact me via PM, or via my website. Thank You.
