Any ideas on this little guy? He's on the Starboard mandible.

FWIW - Depending on the 5 Footer you are building, the Front Cover plate Orientation is different.
If you are going for Original Filiming, A New Hope Replica, be sure you get the Ferrari Cover plates in the right orientation. The B&W Photos in Chronicles and current model orientations are NOT as they were during Filming and as seen on film. Here's a quick reference for orientation if you are going ANH Style.
Below Starboard Mandible Front, B&W on left, you will see the Orientation as the cover plate was AFTER ANH filming (and in Chronicles), and the orientation on the right as it was actually filmed (my replica - I've since replaced the incorrect yellow peeling decal
Below, Port Mandible Front, B&W shows again this cover plate is 180 degrees out since Filming, the one on the right shows orientation as it was filmed.
Below, Screen Shot from Death Star docking scene, showing the actual orientation and matching the ones on the right above.
The other telltale sign are those valve openings, you can see in the screencap and my photos the valve openings are closer to the 'inside mandible' areas, and on the Ref Photos, they are farther away from the inner mandible, showing the 180 degree orientation off-set.
Hope that helps for those building ANH version.

Double delete...sorry again
Uggg...so I found a mistake I could use a little help with. Thanks the the awesome pic swgeek provided, I've noticed that I have mislabeled a part on the port mandible. As I understand it the part in blue is the White Road Boss. I thought the rest was the AMT Cabover but now I see that's wrong. What the heck is the long piece? Is it the Watkins? Thanks!

That’s amazing you caught that from SWGeeks photos from the other side, top.
My brain is just not working tonight. Am I correct in that 3/4 of the mandible edges are the same with the exception being the one that fell off? If was different parts right? I need to go to bed...I've got the brain pain coach...That’s amazing you caught that from SWGeeks photos from the other side, top.
