There are other pictures on the web of the arrows displaying, where one aircraft has a light on.
Courtesy of our friends at ‘Fighter Control’, here is one posted on Airliners. If I have it right, it is Red 4 here too, albeit a wholly different pilot.
Yes they are wooden. The wheel behind suggest they are formers for the panelling of the engine nacelles being built alongside. The one on the right has writing which states “port inner’.

Those are called bucks, still used when fabricating car & aircraft panels from scratch to ensure they are the right shape & will fit etc.

I believe that the RAF had specified that their fitters must be able to replace damaged tube sections with their existing tools. Surely teaching some of them to weld would have been easier!
I would guess welding in a field in France at a forward airfield would be almost impossible, whereas a spanner and a screwdriver would be more accessible?
