Yes, those are from a plane cockpit, but unlikely to be from a Zero, but most likely from a Nelly or a Lorna. The main clue would be the KMX plate, which is an anti-submarine magnetic detection device introduced from April 1944. The large silver plate in the center says flap controls, autopilot and oil tank. The black one to the left shows flap angle. The bottom one is landing gear up, down. Red is for manual fuel pump.
Here is a Zero cockpit http://gunsight.jp/c/Type%200%20fighter-3D.htm
Here you see cockpit configurations for other navy planes, but too small for reading the plates. http://gunsight.jp/c/cockpit-3D.htm
However, if we are to assume, as is most likely, that all plates came from the same place/plane the above two models that were equipped with KMX are the likely ones.
