Question UFO rubber parts from a 190E?

After several episodes of front brake work and front-end alignment (all DIY), I found these items under or near the front of the car. They appeared at different times, and after some examination underneath and under the hood, I have no idea where they came from. Anyone able to clue me in? Thanks.

Steve

rubber

those are rubber pieces from around the radiator/condenser area, they help to direct the air flow properly throught the a/c condenser and the radiator, they act like seals. i believe they are from the top lip of the radiator.

Ray, I am confused by your description - I have rubber seals on the hood that seal against the top of the radiator support, but the radiator itself is mostly hidden by the fan shroud in back and the condenser coils in front. The condenser itself is covered in front by an electric fan/shroud. Still, this is the area where I found them (the floor beneath), and the area I have been studying for signs of shinyness exposed. Nothing so far.

Thumbs up

Eureka! Thanks, Ray, your diagram guided me to the right area. They go on the bottom left and right sides of the radiator bottom tank flange (parts#136), sealing against the bottom cover (which I've had off the car for awhile). I'm putting them back with contact cement.
