The second photo definitely shows a flap track fairing cone (two on each wing, not identical but roughly similar), but the first one does not look right. For one, there is no black ring visible on the fairing cones on any recent photo of PK-CLC, and it appears to be the wrong shape (but this could just be the photo angle). I cannot readily match it to any other part of a 737.

EDIT: as others correctly pointed out below, both are flap fairing cones, the dark band is merely a strap around the first one, second photo is very clear. Good lesson in not jumping to conclusions.
