Those discs were manufactured in a variety of colors. I've seen them used in several sf 'ray' guns, including the Star Trek phaser-and-utility-belt set. They might have been in Buck Rogers or Space: 1999 toys, too. I know that a few years after I got my utility belt set, I found those discs occasionally outside--playgrounds I guess, don't recall exactly. But I kept them for extra ammunition!

Highly cheesy, but they could both be useful for the cartoon series--the humans might use the boomerangs to hunt, while the Apes might have used the walkie-talkie and the fake magnet.

If that's Aldo from "Battle" on that Walkie-Talkie, that makes it a rare piece of Claude Akins merchandise!

"But MOM! It's not just a couple of boomerangs...It's boom-a-rangutangs!"
