Not really much to photograph
The widgets have a shape like bootlace ferrules but not for crimping as
thicker brass and also silver plating. Maybe a variant of turret tags for
setting in pcb without the turrets or some sort of terminal or pin.
12.5 mm long, hole through axis with a ridge around the outside, one end 1mm
hole and 2.5mm outside dimension and other end 2.8mm hole and 3.8mm outside.

I think its a pin contact insert for a multi-pole connector. The ridge
fixes the pin in whatever material is the connector body and wires are
pushed and soldered inside the thicker end of it.

DIN41612 type connectors with power carrying pins incorporated perhaps, like
these

Looking again there are different sizes , but not mutually pluggable and
none have slits or sprung bits and silvered brass seems a bit odd for power
connectors

They look like pins for an Edac or Harting type connector
