That fairing isn't YZR500 it's for a 1994/95 Yamaha FZR600R.. The seat unit could be YZR though.

They look like standard race panels to me, same as I had on my race FZR, there's no oil containment at the bottom so they've probably been in storage since 1995, think the containment rule (fully filled in at the bottom) came in about 96.
