Help identifying a couple parts?

I've got several pieces that were included in the parts box of my partial restoration that I don't know what they're for. I suspect the 2nd picture are bumper brackets, because of the carriage bolt. The first picture... No idea.

Top picture: middle is brace on inner fender, where the steering shaft passes through from column to box

Bottom picture: front bumper brackets, on top of frame rails to top bolts on bumper.

The inner fenders are sitting off in the corner of my friend's shop. Of course, I can't find a picture on Google Images when I need one. Does the steering shaft go through the inner fender, or is there a notch, and the brace goes on the right-hand side of the notch when it's installed?

There’s a notch for the shaft to pass through, then a total of 4 bolts to hold it on, 2 on each side of the notch.

I had the same difficulty finding pictures via google and it’s too cold to take pics of my 68 sitting outside.

Awesome! Thank you. So we've got 3 out of 5 identified... Getting there.
