Bits in the transmission

I started to hear a faint whining sound, like gears meshing, sometimes when slowing to stop.
I'm not sure if it's related, but recently I changed the belt and rear tyre, and so removed the clutch assembly, drive face, rear wheel (and removed and cleaned the rear brake).
I decided to do the transmission oil ( which has probably never been done. 15,000 km. Ouch!)
A few metal specks and a silvery dust in the oil.
Anyway, the drain bolt wouldn't go in so I stuck a magnet in the hole and pulled out these.
I can't see them in the parts manual. Seem to be a clamp for a bearing or similar. Do they look familiar to anyone.
I'll see how the sound progresses. I may be getting myself a new drive set in the future.
