Could it be some navy plane, like FM-2?

Yup a F4F/FM2 type. Would post a confirmation photo but....

Question.

what are the thick light colored pieces attached to the inside of the hatch covers made of?

sounds good.

Notice that it also seems to be on the bottom of the gun bay.

Any reason for the use of the asbestos?

It absorbs heat?

Open gun bays on port (left for you landlubbers) wing of an F4F.

See below.

it was used for bolth heat . and for vibration dampening . otherwise the aluminum skin would tear apart over and around the guns .
