Just out of curiosity do you have the Selective Real Time Damping or Magnetic Ride Suspension? Those look similar to what the factory installs on each rear shock for shipping. The dealer removes them.

Those are the clamps that allow you to bleed the blinker fluid. They are normally stored on the end of the fluid lines which you will find under the headlight motors. I'm not sure how they ended up in the car.
Have your service tech put them back on your next blinker bleed.

Probably are part of the seat tracks. I know that Ford seat tracks have similar looking parts used on the threaded rods used in power seats.
