Default Help identifying these parts

I bagged and tagged most parts for my frame off resto but a few slipped through the cracks apparently. Anybody know what these are and where they go? Car is a 1970 BB coupe. The parts were painted body color or could just be over spray. They are about 3/4" wide and 5" tall. Thanks in advance.

the rear edge door area of the body, there is another similar metal strip below it but longer. You see them when the door is open, a finishing piece. Look at this image of the car with the open door

These go in the door jamb area. See pictures. I will be filling in for Alan this week since he is on vacation. Not really, just paying homage to Alan.

Hi,
And, the right piece has the top fastener pulled out of the quarter trim panel.
Regards,
Alan
