They look like attaching clips , most likely for side trim. There are hundreds of different ones. Any packaging ? Hard to identify unless one of the common ones.

The size and shape of the big part fits a specific size of stainless trim. They slip in, slide into position, then twist tighter to hopefully snap into place, still loose enough to slide a small amount if needed. They need to be lined up to fit holes (about a quarter inch size) in the fender, door, or body panel.

This was one of the most common ways to hold side trim onto fender/door/body panels with poor access to the back inside through pout the 1950s and 1960s. 

Some similar ideas were used as far back as the late 1930s, usually smaller in size.
