I disembowelled my 1970 MGB roadster some time ago but I didn't label the two parts as pictured, does anyone out there have an idea where they live?

Looks like the top one is for one of the foot well vents by the radio. Just my guess.

Looks too big and the wrong shape for a heater vent, a 70 would normally have closable steel flaps there.

At the moment I'm not recognising it as anything from an MGB at all.

What is the origin of the car, just wondering if it's an Australian CDK it may be something specific to that market.?

Barrie was right about the bottom piece, it is a dashboard part.
The car is a CKD unit and it was pretty well original except for the rough bodywork, so it is an original part and may well be indigenous to an Australian assembled unit.
Thanks to all for your input
Marty
