October 1942. Engine installers at Douglas Aircraft in Long Beach, California.
B-25 bomber cowl assembly, North American Aviation, Kansas City, Kansas. October 1942

those are Magnetos in the second pic, right?
 
Trebor, the magnetos would be mounted on the front of the engine, one for a single row radial, two for a twin or double row and they looked like a distributor with a cover over it. The cover housing the ignition wires.

From Yahoo:
Ayesha Farooq, 26, Pakistan's only female war-ready fighter pilot, poses for photograph as she sits in the cockpit of a Chinese-made F-7PG fighter jet at Mushaf base in Sargodha, north Pakistan June 6, 2013. Farooq, from Punjab province's historic city of Bahawalpur, is one of 19 women who have become pilots in the Pakistan Air Force over the last decade - there are five other female fighter pilots, but they have yet to take the final tests to qualify for combat. A growing number of women have joined Pakistan's defence forces in recent years as attitudes towards women change. Picture taken June 6, 2013. REUTERS/Zohra Bensemra
