WW2 Armour identification, Ram, Covenanter?

I manage to get my hands on a Covenanter track link which i have been after for a while, plenty more where that came from. Part of the deal i made i had two bits  of armour thrown in the package, said to be from a Ram tank found on a PIAT range which i can confirm. But looking closer it may be from a Covenanter. The larger heaver lump looks like its from the from louvre of early design see on page 97 in P.M. Knights book about the Covenanter. you can still see where the PIAT has left pock marks in the armour. The screw holes are about 4.5 inches apart width and 10.5 inches length ways and it weighs a ton, still has red oxide paint on the base.

The other bent 1/4 inch plate looks like it may come from the rear engine deck of a Covenanter just behind the turret the welded hinge in stainless is typical of welding on armour, the square side from the hinge measures 14.5 inches and about 16 inches were its broken off, i assume near where the other hinge would have been, this also has PIAT damage plus original paint. Can anyone confirm.
