From a B-25 crash site, 22 sept. 1943, south Italy

Here are some fragments from a B-25 crash site. Aircraft was shot down 22 sept 1943 or soon after in south Italy. Some idea to identify?
Many thanks from SALERNO 1943 AIR FINDERS www.1943salerno.it

    Hello SALERNO 1943,
    Don't know about this B-25 but the P-38 shown on your website as down on the 9th September 1943 can only be one of these three.
    42-13136, Messmore, Frederick M.  Killed.
    42-13411, MACR 693, Dibble, James (NMI). Killed.
    43-2155, MACR 698, Wojcik, Stanley (NMI). POW.
    All the very best
    Alex

    Just want to repeat briefly some of the information, lost after the server crash:
    1. The prefix 82- on some of the parts was used by NAA to mark the B-25C production 
    2. As already discussed with Salerno1943, with a great probability the a/c, parts of which were found east of Naples is the one described in this thread (MACR 16514): http://forum.armyairforces.com/22-September-1943-Loss-m135317.aspx
    3. The location given in the MACR as "Voltuara" is in fact Volturara Irpina where the above shown artifacts were found
