Could we be more specific on which factory? South Bend? Which Building?
Since some of the buildings had other uses after the demise of
Studebaker's South Bend operations, this might have nothing to do with
the car manufacturer. I'm forwarding the photo to a couple experts...

The experts came through -- this was apparently the frame of a
prototype moon sample cart under development for NASA (?) in 1963.
There are a couple threads on the Studebaker Drivers Club forums
dealing with the restoration of the "Turtle." The wheels of the
prototype are of some sort of foam. This may have just been a handy
material for a mock-up; the sketch on the second page below shows
grooved tires more typical for cross-country, off-road (or lunar!) use.
No engineering documents seem to be still in existence; the lunar
transport use is word-of-mouth.

Studebaker
assembled Curtiss-Wright engines for B-24 bombers during WWI. They also
developed the M29 Weasel, a tracked vehicle originally developed for
Artic use. The Weasel could climb 15-degree slopes, and the sealed
bottom allowed it to float. An amphibious version was "perfected" in
late '43. Over the 15-thousand-some Weasels built, there still exist
several excellent operational examples. The "St. Lo Special" is part of
the collection at the Studebaker National Museum in South Bend.

After Curtis-Wright took over the burden of management of the failing
Studebaker-Packard Corporation, military contracts propped up the
company for a couple years.

Correct, they are downspout brackets.

It was found in South Bend, don't know which building, I'll ask the person
who sent the photo.

I'll go ahead and give the answer for this one, it's probably for holding
shoe or clothes brushes, the links below show a couple of brush holders and
a fancy brush:

I'd guess it was used to carry car doors around the factory.

Used to attach downspouts to houses. In effect, a glorified nail. Probably
made of galvanized cast iron (if old enough). New cheap ones may be aluminum or
die metal.

Looks like a shock mount as part of the suspension of a car or a
carriage.

Looks like a cover to control where light from a lamp shines,
while cooling itself fairly well with the fins.

For moving parts of the car to where it would be assembled to
the car?

For hanging two of something on the wall -- and perhaps for also
hanging something like two umbrellas at the bottom (one hook missing.)

For mounting the downspout of a gutter to the house.
