Why do you think that a part marked Boeing is from a P-47D?

Because I know the identification of the plane (N°: 42-28898) and the history of the crash.

When asking on such very tiny bits it should be normal to give as much info as one has dont you think?.

Boeing 41-9901 is the rough casting number for seat fitting.

The second set of photos look like some sort of pilot indicating light. The double arrows are probably to control dimming.

The other parts don't look familiar as I'm not very familiar with P-47.

I didn't think that the name of the pilot and the location of the crash would advance the case ...

well it does... not all versions of p-47 are made with the same components.
