JU 52 part identification please
 
A 92 year old witness of this JU 52 crash site in Romania, claimed to have collected these 2 rings in 1944 from the JU 52 crash site up in the mountains which was visited last month by a friend. Does anybody has a clue whether these rings, now used to reinforce a hammer, indeed could be a part from a JU 52?

Ju 52/3m did have "fasterner" rings to attach the wings to center section.
Maybe if part numbers are engraved (stamped) in them, they could be traced.

Enigma solved and this crash site confirmed as has been found:

The rings are "Federglied" from "Kronprinz Ringfederbein " picture bottom right
