Hi Nick,
The Baumuster entry appears composed of two parts, Do17Z and R785, as does the Sach-Nr. entry, 17 and 362-02. I can not relate either R785 or 362-02 to a particular material category or component or accessory group; I do not have access to a Do17Z parts manual. However, some have said that R indicates either rechts (right) or repariert (repaired).
This site may help with the Lorenz plate:

An airframe Werk-Nr. does not include date information. Can't say if that also applies to component W.Nr.

I obtained the attached Lorenz plate with the Dornier one posted earlier. I believe this comes from the AAG 16 Aerial Matching Unit that will have formed part of the FuG 16 VHF radio system. Does the 41 reference in the Werk Nr. signify the year of manufacture ?
I believe that both plates came from the same UK crash site and am making further enquiries.
Regards
Nick
