Help Identifying 1958? Parts

[Dennis G.]

I have a mechanic in another state assembling portions of my 1958 Corvette. He took over from another shop that disassembled the body and had the car for eight years. The attached picture is of parts the previous shop had cad plated and were included with all the items we moved. The mechanic working on the car is wondering if these parts go with the Corvette. I recall seeing the plates with the threaded holes being part of early Corvettes, but have not been able to find them again. Any input would be appreciated.

The only thing I can help with is the three items in the lower right look like the type of washer that goes along with the screws that hold the door panels on.

Upper right "cup" and upper left spring look like they might be part of the male portion of soft top lid to body latch.

the four little tubes look like the sheaths for the long bolts (2 each side) that attach the brake backing plate to the spindle/knuckle. And a guess, that the two nuts are for the lower outer control studs in the front lower A-arms.

All parts look to be freshly plated, so if numerous Corvette parts were sent out to be plated, the plating shop could have returned parts from other jobs. Consequently, some may not belong.
