Thinking outside the (gear)box, Nasher!

As the pieces appear to be magnetic, any idea where they could come from? The usual suspect for a stripped thread is the sump plug hole, but that would be aluminium.

Claude, did the pieces feel solid and sturdy or could you bend or twist them easily? If solid, it sounds like a failed component but if bendy, then Nasher may be correct.
