I have a cleaning out the hanger scenario going on and found a few items that are not obvious to me as to what aircraft they were attached to or used in. Any help provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Part in the last 2 photos look like J-47 engine accessory case parts. They would hold the accessory case cover on. I just repaired this part on our F-86 this past inspection.

Thank you Sabermech for your response. Let me know if you end up needing to replace your components at some point as I have spares.

Rather clever parts decoding Fiftycal. Thank you for indicating the specific version Saber!

I thought something with this system of identifying which model of aircraft by part number wasn't quite right. I checked our parts manual for the F86-F and it has plenty of parts starting with 140, 151, 152, 161, 165, 171 and on.

Well the thing you have to remember is that later sub-variants of the same "family" of aircraft often utilized parts from previous sub variants.
For North American the first number is derived from the project or contract #. For this reason, P-51D's which were designated NA-106 to NA-122
utilized 73-xxxxxx numbered parts that it had in common with the first Allison engined Mustang. They did not change all the part numbers to a
number series particular to that model if it utilized a part used in an older variant. Hence your 151-xxxxxxx part from an F-86a may still have been
used in an F-86F.
