Ah, I was going to mail you some of those at one point. (Me being absent-minded as per usual, sorry.)

Z1/ZA.4444 Insulator - 3-link chain type. (RAF Type 9) PC21061 10B/1275 10BZA4444 5970-99-105-3234
Z1/ZA.4589 Insulator - 2-link chain link, SD/A21073 5970-99-102-7930
Z1/ZA.4386 Insulator, Link - single link, SD/A23659 5985-99-103-2102

The ones with the split rings are probably for the stay assemblies on the 34-ft steel vertical aerial, though it originally used 'D' shackles so could be repaired without tools. (The split rings were a cost-saving/economies of scale measure.)

If you watch the WS11 station setup film from the Australian War Memorial site you can see just how complicated that mast was to begin with!

Best regards,
Chris.
