Default Does anyone recognize these guards?

These came with a box of items taken off my car during the restoration. They look like splash guards. Does anyone know where they were mounted? I'm wondering if they are the original air conditioning shields for the radiator. Do they help with air flow?

They go between the bumper a core support on AC cars. Yes, forces air into radiator all around it. See below.

Those are GOLD... They mount to the radiator support on a/c cars. Supposeldy they help with air flow.

Thanks. I thought that's what they might be. The car has it's original A/C Harrison radiator that was re-cored but these were never mounted again. I'm in the process of dealing with the water pump and trying to increase cooling flow, so hopefully putting them back on will help. The P. Zazarine book has a blow-up of the 66-67 core support so I think I can see where to mount them. The scan Charles attached is also helpful.

While I'm asking, does any one have a good epoxy recommendation for the fan shroud? Mine is cracked at the center top and the last glue job didn't hold.

I've fixed a few with 3m weatherstrip adhesive. Marxjunk on here said you can use a wood burning tool as a plastic welder if you have scraps of plastic that are the same material as what you are welding. I have not tried that as yet however.
