Yes, that's it. Escorts/couriers.
Correos Are the people who accompany the work of art during its transfer. See

Yes, they are exhibit labels. Not sure about "correos", but it doesn't necessarily relate to the labels. Could it mean mailings, perhaps?

display/exhibition notes/labels

I think "fichas de contextualización" refers to the little notes or cards that accompany artworks on display and explain a little about them, with date of creation, techniques used, period, style etc.

"Display cards" or "exhibition cards" is another option:
"Product: Museum exhibition cards. Days: 20. Stage: 3-4 Write a museum exhibition card each object that will be exhibited, based on a model."
