The upper control arm adjustable bolt is halfed like those flat pieces. Maybe a type of shim. The washers for control arm cam are made that way. Just guessing. These would only take a 1/4 or 5/16 bolt.

The lower picture looks like locking tabs for Hurst 4-speed shift rods when the rod ends back by the shifter are threaded for nuts. The D shaped hole makes them easy to recognize. That setup was nice because you could really dial out any slop where the rod adjuster connected to the shifter 1-2 and 3-4 plates. Once you tightened the nut to eliminate all play without binding, you folded over the locking tabs on that shim. Hurst discontinued them back at the turn of the century and replacements became scarce. I eventually had to switch back to the goofy clips and bushings when I had used up all of my replacement shim kits.

I'll have to dig the shifter out and have a look.

This is the only picture I have from that setup. Unfortunately, you need a detail closeup picture from directly behind the shifter body to see how the nuts and bend-over tabs lock the shifter rod adjusters to the shifting arms hanging out the bottom of the shifter.
