IMHO, the first pic shows a wind bar of a bomb sight ... the one in the diagram below is of Mk.IX one. But the part for earlier versions of the bomb sight look almost the same

Second part looks like part of a bomb steady, one of the main uses of stainless steel in RAF aircraft.

A bit of background, the Wimperis course setting bomb sights were liberally applied to British/Commonwealth aircraft.
