Have you taken an actual look at the starter clutch? Any holes or protrusions on the starter clutch OD?

I too think think those parts are from that assembly. In my experience ( with GZ 250s for MSF course) the outer wall, is thin, and those springs and pin, force thier way out often. ( or they are starting to protrude from the outer diameter of the wheel.I do about 3 or 4 starter clutch repairs a year. ( out of 8 or 9 GZ 250's)

After years of service, I could see the same scenario happening though.

OR, the prior mechanic, didn't hear, or feel them fall out, during the last few moments of assembly. Could possibly explain no damage to those parts, getting bounced into the pan.. (?) It's a long shot, but I have seen crazy stuff happen.
