No 1 are the fuel lines and double electric pump from a P5 Mk2 and Mk3 Saloon/Coupe,
The 2nd one is the entire propshaft/centre bearing assembly but without any measurements only the rearmost part (the shortest bit) and centre will fit any P5/P5B as the front is model specific

The very same pump appears to be on E-bay at the moment, so presumably the propshaft is from a MkIII auto coupe?

So the prop shaft could be either Mk3 or P5B which have different front sections

P5's have an electric pump, P5B's have a mechanical pump. (As standard)

...and these electric pumps have not got enough capacity to feed twin V8 carbs at all throttle/load ranges

They realy are single pumps one for normal and the other for reserve I suppose if you combined the inputs and used both pumps together they would work unless you have a known good one they were a bit unreliable used to stick a lot on my old Jag

I think you can now modify them to solid state and do away with the contacts which was the main problem

...and these electric pumps have not got enough capacity to feed twin V8 carbs at all throttle/load ranges Phil, about 25 years ago, I had a 2 litre Viva GT road rally / sprint car which ran on 2 x Weber 45 DCOE carbs. The mechanical pump fitted to that did not have the capacity to feed those so I fitted a Rover 3 litre SU from a scrapyard which I refurbed before fitting. I never had any more fuel starvation probs even with only one end working. I think you may underestimate the capacity of a good SU. Mechanical pumps were only used I believe because initially the engine came with them from the USA and they are also a lot cheaper.

Trims from a coupe screen. I think they're mostly the rear one but I'm not 100% sure. Last bunch includes some from D pillar.

As to capacity of the single SU used with a V8 it will not keep up wit demand in full throttle with a V8 as I tried one once and did not find out until going up a lsteep hill with a hot engine.
Although as with big Jags both sides can be used in tandem the useful P5 reserve facility will be lost.
The SU pump went for a very good price - the diaphragms are like;y to quickly disolve in unleaded though so it was not a good buy
