First what I see is corrosion. My goodness, it looks like a WWI tank just being excavated. Time for some WD40 ! :)
Hmmmm it's not corrosion Khun Regi...
:D
the brown spots are hydraulic fluid rests?
The white spots, isn't that corrosion?
The brown spots are grease
And the white spots are place where the grease left and discovered the original paint... :D ...

What looks like corrosion is a special coating to avoid damages by FOD or gravels projected by the spinning of the wheels.

You are right...ID Plug aka prog plug....gives information to the fadec like as you mentionned but also N1 trim, egt red line, bump(if available) ,thrust rating,... installed on top of the Electronic control unit(one of the most expensive part of the engine)....always attached to the engine by a little chain...because the id plug always stay with the engine, even in case of ECU/EEC replacement.

You're right it's cargo smoke detector...

Still an easy one, but I don't know the right name.
It's the unit which, when switched on, disactivates the steeringactuator on the nose gear during towing.

Yes it s the steering disconnection box, the mechanic's puts the lever vertically to disconnect hydraulically the steering, both sides to the return lines.then he places the pin to lock the lever.

That's also the pin shown by the mechanics to the captain when the A/C is about to leave....

What is the purpose of this pushbutton...

It's a main landing gear. But of which plane type, no idea.

Am I right to say the brakes are removed?

You are right, it is of course a MLG....but the brakes are not removed....the thing is that they are not installed...:-)...aalso there's something very unusual that you can find, only on this particular A/C.
