The trimmed resistors are the four brown rectangles with notches (one is shown in atomlib's pic). The silvery surfaces are aluminum - seems a single layer of metal process. Some large plates may be capacitors. In analog circuits, MOS transistors are often fairly big, to carry larger currents, sometimes in the tens or hundreds of milliamps. There are a few such large devices, where you can see an interdigitated structure: think two hands open flat with the fingers interpenetrating but not touching. One hand is the MOS source terminal, the other is the drain terminal, the space between is the gate that controls current flow in the channel between the two first terminals.
