Number 5 looks like the exhale valve and filter attachment point, the 'snout' of a gas mask. Specifically, I believe it may be from a Czech CHEMA gas mask, or something very similar:
Number 4, I'd guess also gas mask related. Likely one of the buckles used on the elasticated head straps. If not that, a small equipment buckle of some kind. Unfortunately, I can't guess at what the others may be. There are many members here who have been detecting battlefields for many years. Hopefully they can be of some help.

Thank you ! ;-)
So, could it be this gas mask remnant a WW2 relic ?

Depends where they were dug up. If it was in an area that saw combat, there couldn't be many other explanations for how a gas mask came to rest there.

Would have been used by the Germans. They would have appropriated Czech army gas masks after the annexation of the Sudetenland. They did the same thing with firearms, chiefly pistols. A great many variations can be found with German WaffenAmt markings.

WW2 relics...need help for info/ID...
So, any 'idea'/info/ID about 'pieces' nr. 1, 2, 3 and 4...?

Number 2 might be some kind of sling swivel from a rifle. Looks very similar to the front swivel of an M38 Carcano, but could be from anything. It may not even be firearm related.
