wild speculation from my side: the lower parts could be swing-arm bushes, the grease nipples also speak for that. Or they are parts from the drum brake... Not sure what the upper parts are though, not even sure they are from a Laverda 3C...? But if, they might be also from the drum brake?!?

Can't recall coming across anything like any of those (apart from grease nipples) when I did a full rebuild of my 76 3CL. Mind you I didn't do a deep dive into the cases as Red did all that but I can't recall seeing anything like that in the parts diagrams either. Don't think they came from your bike.

My guess is they aren't Laverda parts, but the swingarm pivots and bushes for a moto that uses a split swingarm pivot with a mount each side - the centre part is maybe the motor or a central frame section - kinda like a 90s Ducati system?

I refurbished my bike trailer a few years ago. it has trailing arm suspension from a Mini. The swing arm pivots looked a lot like that, except they were a bit longer. So I'm with PB2 and iis in identifying them as swing arm pivots. No idea what they're out of though.
At least you know that the parts don't belong to your Jota, unless someone has radically modified the swing arm pivot.
