The cans are mini-terminal blocks that attach to the positive terminal. The black rubber items are fuses. If it were me, I would replace those attached terminal blocks with a separate covered power bus bar mounted nearby. Mount all the excess positive wires to the bus bar. Check Blue Sea for options. Just leave two main connections to the battery, + and -. I would also loose the wing nuts and replace with nylon locking nuts.

You look to have 2 inline fuse holders and a circuit breaker (rusty). Not sure I understand the question

Just lookin to get everything cleaned up. Maybe replace those cans and dielectric grease the fuseholders. Just never took the time to see what those things actually were for. Charlie
