this also is related to the horn right ?
is this a part related to the tone arm assembly ?

Here's the back of the Credenza model, which has very similar parts, showing what you have but all put together. All but one of those parts come easily off the the back of the 8-30 wooden orthophonic horn. One was made part of the wooden horn and therefore I believe that horn was therefore destroyed to attain those parts. Destroyed possibly due to pest or water damage, or both.
The tonearm mounts to the top of the stack with a non-removable cabinet board between (removable on the Credenza model). The needle cup holder and ID are also mounted to that same cabinet board.

Thanks for the help.
Going by that,all that odd wood we have set aside with the other parts is probably the remains of the wood box like structure the horns metal parts attached to..ill have to see if they go together to form such a structure.
Also,it would seem,theres a sleeve part,that would connect the horn to the base mount like object that i dont have grouped at the moment,will have to look for that also.Part of the reason i thought that base mount looking piece wasnt part of the horn assembly,was it didnt seem to connect to it,but a sleeve like connector like shown in your pic would solve that.
Sorry if the terminology im using is all wrong

I didnt take it apart ,or research it before hand,and am now trying to fumble thru identifying the parts which were mostly in a big pile
