Hard to tell from this far away and the visual clutter:
Item on far left is the support bracket that sits on the shift console - the A/C, vent control screws to it.
Item on the far right is the support bracket on the underside of the emergency brake console and secures the power window switches.

Can't tell what the center 2 items are.

Too much clutter, too far away and in the case of the smaller brackets and supports. They're also hanging at bad angles to see any detail in them to identify them.
The piece in front of the hydraulic bottle is the reinforcement that attaches to the underside of the parking brake console.
The triangle shaped piece to the right next to the parking brake slider guide looks like it could be a front surround reinforcement to inner fender bracket, but it's hard to tell from the picture.

Fortunately (or unfortunately...) I believe I've powder coated most all of those on my 72...

Took a bit to recognize the two highest hanging pieces, guide and act as the attachment point the cables for the kick panel doors
The triangle piece is the center dash support as mentioned.
Parking brake console brace and slider guide/PW switch mount as mentioned
But I can't really make out the two in front of the hose/cord on the press, just blends into the background for these old eyes

Those two pieces hanging under the Y of Stingray in front of the extension cord are the only un-identified pieces - hard to see I agree....

I can't really tell if there's enough bends but they do look like the brackets that hold the rear shoulder belt covers attached to the quarter trim
