Predator Backpack Greeblies - Need help with new part!

Speaking of the Missile Phalanx, this isn't a part I originally listed, because I don't have a great photo of it, but I was still able to ID it...
 
OK, so another model part was shoved into the center of part #13... It is roughly 30mm (1 3/6") wide at its widest point. It is clearly some type of pivot point. I am wondering if it might be the hips for one of the destroid type models, but it could easily be a military type model piece. I could really use some help nailing this one down.

It still looks like a winch to me.

I have looked at a lot of models with winches and haven't found anything even close yet. Not discounting it... Just not finding anything that is matching so far.
 
I absolutely cannot believe this. This is one of the parts that I didn't label because I took NO good photos of it. It is down in the recess of the medical kit area of the backpack, and somehow, in all the photos I took, I managed to take not a single clear photo... Even then... I have been studying it really hard and believe it or not, I IDed it...

BEHOLD! (Sorry for being melodramatic... I still just can't believe I was able to find it)
 
Here are additional photo of part #7. I am trying to find it and it is REALLY tough because 2/3 of the part has broken off the original model.

This piece is strikingly similar to the road wheel from a Tamiya 1:35 M10 Tank Destoyer... but I don't think it is an exact match. As with the other pieces, any help would be appreciated.

This piece also matches the Tamiya 1:35 M36 Jackson Tank Destroyer's road wheeels. In truth, the may be the same mold, but the M36 road wheels actually look to be a slightly better match.
 
Something interesting (ok, probably ONLY interesting to me) is that the AVP cannon utilizes the exact same model part as the original cannon from Predator; the track from the M2 Bradley tank! A longer strip of the track is used on the AVP cannon (16 links as opposed to 11), but it is still essentially the same part being used, in a movie made 17 years after the original.
 
About part #13.
I was watching PBS and behind the host was an old cannon. It made me think of part 13 with its 2 pivots to the sides.
Maybe its a tank cannon or similar. The 2 shock absorber things on top also makes me think of that now.

Thanks! Will start looking in that direction!
 
I am pretty excited to add these pieces from the Macross Valkyrie models thanks to RPF member, mslz22! Two more parts down!
