Bigger bit looks like a type of lock nut, at least the circular shape with slits at roughly each 1/4 mark. Seems to be contiguous with some larger plate, not a free nut.
Smaller bit can't make out due to low res pic. Is that greenish hue oxidation?

It's not evidence of the folly of fitting 'pattern' levers, is it?

Definitely nowantium.
I was replacing my clutch cable, the stock one was too tight. I 've swapped it for a longer version.
The damage is the top hole of the gearbox inspection cover. When loosened, there was a quiet crack. All bar one of the 5 pieces were found on my mat and the frame. One piece was sitting inside the gearbox on top of the kickstart spring. Haven't told my wife about using her tweezers.
New one and gasket on order. Feeling lucky all the pieces were easy to find. Will be very careful to check how the new one sits on there and tighten carefully.

Thank goodness it was only the cover, not the outer gearbox cover.
I stripped the thread in that hole - was able to thread repair it without having to take it off.
