The Ford Barn

I recently attended an estate auction and bought a box full of early Ford parts (some NOS). I am familiar with Model A's but Model T's are out of my comfort zone. Can anyone help identifying the following two parts?

One is shaped like a Model A water inlet pipe which bolts to the driver's side of the block however it does not have a boss and bolt at the top where Model A wiring would attach and it has a stamped "FORD" script on the side. It measures 3-1/4 inches wide (edge to edge at the bolt holes) and about 4-1/2 inches long at it's widest point.

The second one appears to be a water inlet pipe but it is not curved like a Model A would be. It is "stubby" and measures 3-7/8 inches across (edge to edge at the bolt holes) and about 2-7/8 inches deep.

Any help you can give me in correctly identifying these parts would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Fred

Top pic is the water inlet on the side of the Model T block, and the lower pics look like the head outlet for a low style brass radiator. Both look like they are almost NOS. ws

Thanks for the reply - I just found them looking in Snyder's catalog. Yes, they are both NOS and have Ford script.

The top one is a Model T water inlet 1909-27 (part no. T-3015) and the bottom one is a Model T cylinder head water outlet for 1909-1916 (part no. T-3004) for use with a brass radiator.
