Could they be from the 1986 Titan III explosion?

That wreckage is also generally found closer to the pad. The proximity to the flame duct and the presence of ablative insulation in the soil leads me more to think that these are something ejected by the exhaust during launch.
How much of the pad and GSE hardware was aluminum rather than steel?
