Pieces of something under 383 valve cover??

[MikeyM]

Hello again, happy Sunday.

In changing valve cover gaskets today, I found these two lovely pieces in the front lower portion of the passenger side cylinder head when I remove the valve cover. I cannot see any visible broken pieces so I am assuming they have come from somewhere else? I realize this is a longshot, but might anyone have any idea what these pieces might be part of?

Thanks very much,
Mikey
