Hi Dave,
The #9 base is for the short VHF whip for the B set. The insulator you have mounts either on the ground spike when used as a ground station or on a mounting plate on the roof of the hardtop vehicle (HUW, M152,etc). When used on a truck the aerial cable is fed to the base by aerial mount C2.
The white wire you have are talc coated ground radial leads. This has to do with optimizing the performance of the aerial system. It provides a counterpoise to the vertical radiating element.
The bag contained a ground spike, ground pegs, insulating guy assemblies, a couple of hammers and any spare aerial bits that were collected.
Edited...
I found the manual and the photos show what and how.
