They are a pair of exhausts, my personal thought was they are bevel twin, I don't want to throw them away as someone somewhere is looking for a pair of them

What Vince said - need pics - don't look like Contis off a bevel with that indent. And they'd be stamped Conti if they were - and Lafranconi if they were the actual 'silencers' (ie noise reducers).

No, not a Conti. Apart from the missing Conti stamp, it's also the wrong part number.
Contis are 0755.84.105 (left) and 0755.84.100 (right)
It's a mystery to me. I've never seen a Ducati part number with 0977.xx.xxx prefix before. I don't think I've ever seen a muffler number higher than 08xx any bevel model. The singles tend to be in the 04xx to 06xx range. Most of the bevel twins are in the 075x range although there are a couple of 06xx and 08xx outliers.
You can search Ducati part numbers here https://www.ducatiomaha.com/search (numbers only - leave out dots, dashes, etc.)
But I already tried 097784503 and it couldn't find anything.
Same negative result with a part number search on the Stein Dinse website and Google. It's got me stumped.
The only hint I can come up with is that the part number prefix tends to get higher with later models, so I'm guessing it's from something later than the bevel engines. Maybe an early belt drive bike? The later "modern era" Ducatis have a different part number configuration.
Another possibility (given the "MADE IN SPAIN" stamp) is that it's from a Mototrans bike. Spanish company Mototrans produced some Ducatis under licence up to around the mid 1980's, but I think they were pretty much single cylinder bikes only. If it's anything to do with Mototrans, good luck finding parts numbers. Online records are like hens' teeth.

I don't think they're Darmah. Wrong part number for a start (Darmah exhausts are 0755.84.103 and 0755.84.107 right and left respectively) and they have a flat indentation towards the rear end to clear the shocks and axle, like this:
Those two odd-looking parallel indentations don't look very Darmah, although I suppose they could achieve the same thing. They're not original Darmah exhausts anyway. Maybe some aftermarket alternative?
Gert's idea that it could be Mototrans 500 parallel twin is a possibility. I don't know much about the Mototrans range or where to find part numbers. Google AI suggests the part numbers for the 500 twin mufflers are 20300070 and 20300080, but I wouldn't put too much faith in Google AI. It often spews up incorrect information.
Is there no manufacturer's ID anywhere? They don't have flanged seams so unlikely to be Lafranconi.
Silentium made non-seamed mufflers (well, they had seams somewhere, just not sticking up seams like Lafranconi), so they could be Silentium, or possibly a clone part made by some unidentified Spanish company.
