yes, the bottom item in the bottom picture appears to be the scope mount for a Soviet PEM mosin sniper rifle. (from page 41 of this thread). It is missing the top half of the rings at both ends of course. I don't see any of the other pieces in your pile.
Above the scope mount is the magazine catch from the bottom of a mosin as well.

Hello everyone!
I've been busy. I wrote project of the village water supply (I am studying an engineer), 120 pages of text and 10 drawings - it was not easy.
After 10 days I will present my project.
Today, I relax. I was a little digging.
I worked on the position of German engineers (Festungs-Pionier-Abschnitts-Gruppe II/16), next to Gorodische...
I found not more: Frag wrapper (shards to destroy the people) for a grenade RGD-33 and Parallelepipeds it was explosive .
This is not a good find (Parallelepipeds), I buried it back.
See you later
Today again dig...
Just amazing to see all that is discarded. lost, used, etc... in the field. Eventhough I was in the military, I never gave it much thought.
Thanks for sharing,
