Been trying to collect all the correct parts for my bike and was wondering what seat and Rack I need to start looking for.

I believe you have a 1938 Comet there...you are missing the rack, the drop stand, the chain guard and need a correct period seat.Pedals might be wrong too. see attached photos-
Look at the bottom of the the bracket or hub that the cranks are in, there should be a date code on there. I would bet it says 38 EH-

Sprocket looks incorrect as well-

Different tank than those pictures. Mines a snyder built frame. The vents in the tank are horizontal the picture has the Rolfast style 3 vertical louvers

I believe it depends on how the bike was badged. Your chainring may be correct. I've seen it on many Hawthornes(Montgomery Wards) All those bikes are Snyder built fastbacks.
