This was my first attempt at posting photo on this site so I apologize to all of those who hate the photos first of all
the bolt looks to be a snapped off top of a shoulder bolt that has been through a rock tumbler, the other parts are a complete mystery.

if you put the pieces together the look like a butterfly, no way that could be on purpose, I was thinking maybe some sort of shims??? My first adventure into one of these so worst case they go in the extra parts bucket.
pressure plate had all the bolts and clutch seemed intact so............

Some clutches used to come pre-compressed, with locks to hold the plate compressed for installation. Maybe those are the locks? I don't remember what they used to look like, and for sure they'd fall out when the PP was tightened down.

The bolt looks like a pressure plate bolt. The other two pieces look to be steel stampings. The only steel stamping in there is the pressure plate. I'd take a real close look at it.

Somebody's been awful rough on that clutch. Those metal pieces are torn from the spring plate in the center of the clutch disc. It centers and retains the springs. A good hi-rev clutch dump usually is the culprit, more than once if you're lucky. I know that's how it happened to me, years ago, when I snatched second gear at 11k in my old 124 Sport Coupe (non-stock, it could twist 12.5 k all day. The clutch was another story... :-0 ) it also broke all the pressure plate to cover straps.
