10 looks like the number dial from a combination lock. There might be another part or two that looks like combination lock parts.
I think it is way too small for that, but let me get you some scaling based on the part we have IDed beside it.
BTW, I have posted over at one of the model communities that I have used extensively to look up parts. Not sure how they will respond, but we will see.

Here is the approximate size for part #10 and part #12 based on the found part #11.

Just spit-balling here, but #5 reminds me of an engine cap from an Estes rocket kit.
Here's a pic of one from a smaller rocket. There's different sizes and styles, and Estes was around back in the day.

Wanted to add some additional photos of part 20, as it seems that these cannisters are all on a single piece of kit and that, to my surprise, they are not all at the same level. The two on each end are much lower than the 4 in the center. Not sure if this helps at all, but there it is.

Here is the piece of the Destroid Defender for the backpack.
OK, I have had a bit of a breakthrough. I believe part #13, #15 and #23 are all part of the same large scale model airplane engine.
This isn't the right one, but check it out... lots of very similar parts.
Hellenic modellers official website / HEL.MO. - 1/32 Hasegawa F6F3/5 Hellcat by Scott Murphy part -02-
Edit: Going a step further, I believe it might be the Monogram Cyclone 9.
1/12 8881 Revell Wright Cyclone Engine
1/12 6052 Monogram Heritage Edition Wright Cyclone Engine

WHEWHOO!!! This is me doing the happy dance!!! I know this pic is super crappy, but this is clearly the right part. The Revell #8881 is the modern recast of the Monogram 6052. This is a photo from the Revell kit, which is clearly the same part on the Predator pack. I am convinced at least part #23 is in this kit as well and BELIEVE we will also find part #13 in there as well! These are the last of the very large scale components!!!
Part #13 and #23!
No way! Models are not my thing at all... and this has been extremely distressing. We still have a number of parts left to go!

YES!!! It only took me looking FOREVER, but Part #20 is from a ARII MACROSS ROBOTECH ARMORED VALKYRIE VF-1J KIT... the question is, much like the other Valkryie Parts on the pack... what scale? 1:100? 1:72? 1:60?
This may seem like an odd piece of information, but since two of the Destroid models are present on the backpack, I thought this little piece of information was worth noting.
When the Destroid model kits were released in 1982, the four Destroids were split between two model kit companies. Arii released the Spartan and Defender while Imai released the Missile Phalanx and the Attack Tomahawk. Of the two makers the Imai kits were more accurately designed, better proportioned and easier to build than the Arii kits.
After Imai’s demise, Bandai purchased the molds to all of the classic 1980’s Macross model kits and began reissuing the kits with a slight box art changes and with a 25th Anniversary sticker on the box. Today many of these kits are still available through vendors such as Hobby Link Japan.
