We're putting an engine back together and can't identify these brackets or their location.

I believe the bottom one attaches to two cam cover bolts so that the tube portion aims at the timing tab on the front cover.

Top right looks like a spark plug heat shield, attaches to a head bolt or exhaust manifold bolt.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

left top: overflow radiator reservoir lower bracket. You will find a plastic fastener on frame rail, the same than on radiator core support for same reservoir where does bolts.

rigth top: number 8 spark plug heat shield

lower...I'm thinking

It could be the to the magnetic timming tool. Even on BB they are welded, not bolted
