Some of you might remember a previous thread regarding a bunch a ball turret parts being sold on Barnstormers by Ed Kaleta. Well, the parts finally arrived and I was surprised to find some items that are not for a ball turret mixed in with the rest. If anyone out there can help I.D. some of these parts I'd greatly appreciate it. The pieces are in rough shape since they allegedly came from a B-24 crash site in Alaska. But I should be able to salvage some of the gear boxes and shell pieces for my turret project. I was kind of ticked off that the internal ammo cans weren't sent with the parts (it was in the ad picture) so I have an inquiry into Ed about this. There also appears to be some doubles of parts so who knows...this stuff may have been collected over a number of years.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Ball Turret Shell Components (Includes armor seat assembly)
More Ball Turret Shell Pieces
Elevation Gear Assembly (large) and Azimuth Gear (small). Too bad I already have both of these.
Trunnion Support Structure (w/ handcrank gear) and 2 ball turret lowering poles (lowered the ball turret on the B-24)
Ball Turret Hanger Tubing Support
Have no idea what these are for? There are 2 of them and they appear to be some kind of hydraulic pump. Any ideas out there?
I believe the large part on the right is the bomb hoist for the B-24. Not sure about the other parts.
Unknown part from what appears to be a turret. Possibly a B-24 nose or tail turret?
Unknown part from a turret again...not sure which one though.
