Fantastic. I love that crystal clear water in the background of several of the photos.
I will see what I can find on the various numbers from the aircorpslibrary.com site as I have no P-47 publications of my own.
83145-B is the thermocouple adapter and used on R-2800 and R-4360 engines. The symbol
The 96R67012 number seems to be the solution - P-47M and later used parts with the 96 prefix and that exact format so lets see what turns up
96X61005-n is the powerplant, so that ties in.
A little searching finds this one 96P67012 and given how hard it was to see that number misreading a P as an R is insignificant. Congratulations
Reading the usage data there are 9 -1 variants, 8 -2 and 1 -4 per aircraft and it was used on the P47M and later aircraft (unless superseded later). So now "all" you have to do is find the serial of a P47M or later that crashed in that area and the case is closed/solved/etc.
Have fun
