Could these tag proof that it's from a B24 bomber?

Another crashplace recently discoverd brought these parts to sunlight. Think it's part of an exhaust of one of a B 24 four engines. The number "GK32 R1004 63" is stamped in.

On the tag you can read: "Model B 24F". Does that mean it's from a B 24?
Could someone identify this part and aircraft? Thanks for your help!

The part on top is possibly an exhaust pipe. On the data plate you show there is a material spec shown. AN-QQ-S-757 is for either Stainless steel or corrosion resistant steel, both used on exhaust parts.

The part on the bottom, is a Hamilton Standard feather switch from the propeller governor, used on the Wright 1820 and 2600, and the P&W 1830 and 2000, so not limited to B24, but used on most multi engine aircraft with those engines.

Without the parts catalog (which I do not have) it is not 100% but all Consolidated designed parts exclusive to the B-24 contain the model number 32.
Given it is an exhaust section and the B-24 engine cowls have part numbers like GK32D1050 I would consider it 99% likely that it is from a B-24 and fitted the B-24F (and possibly later model B-24 aircraft). If used on later aircraft the label would not change.
