First one is defo an ACC radar. Can be retrofitted. You need the sensor (usually very expensive) loom, steering switches and a fog light grill. You may want to fit the correct instrument cluster for the correct lighting (expensive) Car also needs to have extended CAN bus so if you have side assist, lane change or high beam assist you won’t need to change the gateway. CP needs to be removed from the sensor and gateway and cluster if fitted. I have all the parts for mine. Just not got around to fitting it.

Second pic in the boot is a load restraint kit which was a factory option. Can also be retrofitted if you can find the parts.
