1. Metal second battery tray mounted in the bed body color,
2. Metal mounted body color flare holder body color,
3. Metal mounted box holding roadside reflectors that you set up and fold into an upright position also body color.

I have a reflector set just like that!

If you are calling the large sheet metal tray with the angled sides a battery tray, it may have been used for that purpose, but it is actually a rack for a 5 gal. jerry can.
