Spare track links are from WWII Productions, same as fitted around the wheels later on, because they were sharper than Accurate Armour’s parts. The brackets for them are simple scratchbuilds from thing plastic card and a punched bolt head.

They're equilibrators, in other words, they serve to balance the gun by the springs contained inside them. Photos of the prototypes at an earlier stage show the springs, for example at tanks-encyclopedia.c..t26e4-super-pershing but tubes were added over them to protect them later on.
