SWAG: Post-recovery photo of stuff inside Apollo 14 Command Module 'Kitty Hawk'. The scuffed & abraded red stripe indicates that at least part of it is Alan Shepard's EMU. Or, it could be David Scott's...from Apollo 15. Or for that matter, it might be an EVA training EMU for one or the other. However, the photo ID number seems to be representative of actual flight photography, although its sequence, when compared to other Apollo 14 & 15 ‘S-71-‘ photographs is problematic.

 

The tan colored metal plate in the foreground is an adapter bracket used to mount the Hasselblad EL camera in the Command Module rendezvous window. With the 80-mm lens, the camera was aligned along a line pitched up 12° from the x-axis; with the 250-mm lens, the camera was aligned along the x-axis.

 

I wonder what the brown accordion-like thing is? Reminds me of what vacuum cleaner bags looked like a LONG time ago.
