Possible Lewis aerial sight?

[RRPG]

Hi all

Yet again I am here to try and finally identify a couple of items recovered from a British army dump site in the UK.

These items crop up every now and again, but I am yet to get a 100% positive ID on them. We find them of various 'lengths' and have tentatively IDd them as aerial sights for a Lewis gun, or possibly a Vickers K.

In the attached picture, the items I am talking about are the three identical items shown on the far left of the picture. They all have a hole through the tip, which I have speculated is where the ring would have been attached to the sight, to effect its use as an aerial sight. They carry no markings, but these 3 represent a total of about 20 recovered from the site.

A curious item that is defying absolute ID. Can you help?

I wonder if the jag (sixth from the left) and loop (seventh from the left) would fit a current Parker-Hale cleaning rod?

We certainly had Parker-Hale tools in the armoury at school in the 1950s/60s.

The Jag does indeed have 'PH' stamped on it, so I presume it would!
