You are correct so far. Part 9 is the adaptor that goes onto the exhaust grill on the rear of the tank. Part 6 is the adapter that goes over the air intake grill on the top deck, parts 2 and 3 attach to it. Parts 13, 14, 5, and 4 are for the no longer used CLAMS (Clear LAne Marking System) box. It dropped little flags once a lane was clear through a minefield to mark it. I have no idea what the parts on the bag sprue are. Mine didn't have those, they look like straps for teh bags though.
