the items are wheel chocks and a ratchet bar for the spare wheel lowering/raising tool(which is most likely in the cubby hole in the sliding door step)and can also be used as a ratchet for the jack handle

I think it's a paving slab, but see above. There are other opinions.

The top two are wedges for the wheels to stop them moving when jacking up a wheel to change it.
The other thing fits onto the end of the long bar which is used to remove your spare wheel.

You simply turn the ratchet bar around to wind the wheel back up,the long bar (not pictured) clips to the upper end of the wheel tools compartment,lots of peeps think theirs are missing, when in fact it is simply clipped out of the way above...

In my day

, a record was a black circular shaped bit of brittle plastic and had a wee hole in the middle.
Didn't you used to get a tune from it as well

I must admit I have used them in conjunction with my air bag jack, as much as I dislike and distrust scissor jacks the bongo one was very efficient, I even used the chocks.

Nah, it's the top of a gate post

It looks more like a used johnny packet on the grass to me
