In the Norton pile, are those the infamous 'flip top' pistons? If so, I'd hang them on the wall.

Nice diagram! 
Also, I think the inner primary covers in the WTF pile are actually Atlas/N15CS. GP used them in an N15CS resto. Anyone else know for sure?

Wow !That will be a good project! I have been working on a T-140 that had some light rust in a lot of weird places. Rode hard & put away wet!
I discovered that using Evaporust (Google it) in an ultrasonic cleaner turned most of the rusty parts into near new within 30 minutes. The evaporust needs to be around 120+ deg f to work well. I think a gallon is 19$ + shipping, 11$.
Funny thing is that the rusty bolts & nuts came out looking like they were just cad plated.

All-in-all, it was a good pickup. Glad I took a flyer on it.

Notice on that left crankcase the name Tom Christensen? Do you know who that might be? If its the real deal you may have a bit of Hogslayer history!

I get the feeling it's purely coincidental. TC Christenson was the famous racer, not Christensen as appears to be written on my case. Kind of a crazy coincidence though!

So one of the mystery round things is solved.. marked "68-729" with a Diekast logo. Looks like it's a generator housing from a BSA A65. Not sure what the other one (the one with bolts) is from. It has markings of "20884 PBM" and I can't find anything by looking on Google.
I'm pretty sure the inner primary covers, as mentioned above, are from a G15CS/N15CS, and there's the caliper mount from the Honda CB750. Anyone have any ideas on the other stuff?

Bahahahahaha. People on eBay will buy just about everything!
Hell, I just bought a fugly outer primary cover with ugly worn chrome for probably way too much money. Should clean up nicely, though.. /shrug

So.. I bought some replacement z-plates/footpeg assemblies on eBay tonight. Too bad the seller is insane (IMO) with regard to how much he's expecting for shipping...

$25 to ship that? really? It's two z-plates, both left and right footpegs, and the foot brake. Maybe I'm just a big whiner, but I think anything over $13 would be excessive.
eBay is a joke. Truly.
