Looks like it, although ours were completely white rather than striped as yours appears to be.

There were a bunch of commercially available fixtures, like the rubber bands, bungees (used to support the front end of the drive shaft until engine set) etc.

And then a bunch of slave fixtures that were made locally, in the jig & fixture shop, like the master cylinder slaves, etc.

The intent was to gather them up at the point of removal and truck them back earlier in the process for re-use.
