I would say the part on the left is some form of engine mount, the part on the right has got me buggered! possibly a steering arm of some sort?

That is an adjustable motor mount that also raises the the prop thrust angle when the boat is turned. The idea was to provide positive prop thrust angle in a corner to keep a tunnel boat from hooking out. The part that is missing is the control arm bracket with a metal dowel sticking forward to rest against the brass angle shims.
Rod Geraghty came up with front recovery pads("stumble blocks") glued to the inside front of the tunnel floor that helped keep a model tunnel boat from hooking in a corner.
