Hi maxidad66 and welcome to the Aerodrome,

The parts that you are asking about are the machine gun blast channels and they should be fitted over the top cowling following the line of fire of the machine guns. Look at the pictures of a real Fokker D.VII and a model I built a couple of years ago.

The "patchwork" actually is a pre-printed fabric on the real planes and was called lozenge.
About the decals: I am not sure I don't have my Fokker D.VII books with me right now, you should wait until one of the many experts here at the forum can answer your questions.

Best regards,

Claudio
