1985 Westfalia full camper, 1999 Subaru EJ25D motor

I'm trying to get my overheating issue solved which led me to the PO's rewiring of parts of the electrical system. I'm trying to figure out what was changed from stock. Think

Can anyone id these relays? They're above and to the left of the fuse panel, accessible by removing the instrument cluster.

The two at the top left appear to be OE; the other three are Bosch after market; you can see the mounting flange broken off of the top right one to make it fit.

From another thread I see that the two OE are probably the coolant level warning unit and rad fan high speed (is this true?), but what about the other three?

My van has factory AC I believe. The controls are located just to the left of the steering column and look like this:

I believe 42 is your Coolant Level System relay.

They are your dealer added AC relays.

Thanks!

Here's what I came up with for identification in case it might help someone else. If this is wrong, please let me know.
