Does Anyone Know What Parts These Are?

I found these three parts that were not labeled, and I have no clue what they are for. Does anyone have an idea of what these are?

Ummmm... Where did you find them?

First guess - wiring harness clips, to hold harness to the trunk opening lip.

When I took my engine out to get rebuilt I decided to detail out my engine compartment, so I have about 30 bags with different parts which I thought I had labeled everything. I put all of the bags in a container until I could repaint and restore everything prior to putting them back on the car. When I went to lay out all of the baggies of screws and bolts out put them with the appropriate parts I found this unlabeled bag. But I also have parts from my transmission, driveshaft, exhaust, etc., so I'm not even sure these are from the engine compartment. I haven't done anything in the trunk, so I'm not sure if they would have come from there, unless I took something apart a while ago and just bagged them thinking I would remember where they came from.

I'm thinking the clips hold the wires for the taillights to the rear panel, from side to side.

Eric nailed it. These are clips that hold wire harness bundles to the edges of sheetmetal.
