Default Unknown sensors? (1988 Automatic)

I'm fairly new to mechanical knowledge. But, I have two sensors on the exhaust that the wire is shredded on one side and gone on the other. Plus I'm curious as what a sensor right above the starter is for (the clip is broken and typically won't stay connected)


This is the one close to the starter.

With the blue wire is the knock sensor. Is this car in Europe or maybe Japan? The last two images look to be for Export required temp sensors for the catalyst. I don't believe pyrometer is the correct terminology for these , just temp sensors.

If the SPID label is on the console door lid it would be very interesting to have a look at it. Is it there? Post it if you don't mind!!

No. All there is a label about the wheel covers. Would I be able to get the same information from looking up the vin? Or is there another label in a different location, possibly?
