The top pic is the pressure sending unit for the gauge. Replacement is several aftermarket suppliers; Sierra etc.

The bottom is the open/closed pressure safety switch, on your engine probably only wired to the alarm.
 
If you are looking to get a gauge working, simply puchase a new gauge with its matching sender. The thread size is likely 1/8 NPT. You do not need a Perkins-specific sender for a pressure gauge.
