1st shot, reaction control thrusters in the dark.
Reference the multiple shots of the reaction control thrusters in the illuminated shots posted by Donoso just prior to yours, in fact, Donoso has the
same shot, uncropped.
I rotated the second pic around to show what I'm talking about.
Don't have a clue what the "lens flare" thing is though.
Maybe a reflection of the light source for the shot, on the inside surface of the viewport?

I
think this might be a shot of Apollo 13's Command/Service Modules from the LEM, notice all the "stuff" hanging out the side?
Did they have remote-controlled cameras on the LEM?
Compare that to this:
(Careful, hi-rez version)
Notice how the "stuff" sticking out would kind of line up, allowing for the fact the Command Module has been disengaged from the Service Module in
the "official" b/w pic.
Just as I was ready to post this last night with supporting links and stuff I had a power surge/transitory outage and I lost everything.
Everything except the b/w pic already loaded into my photobucket account though!
(Power supply's been kind of weird around here since the fires...I live in SoCal, BTW.)
Pretty cool shots though, whatever they are. Thanks, y'all
