The little metal tag is to protect your frame from getting stabbed by the stabilising screw on the front derailleur. But if your bike has a pre installed derailleur plate then there’s a very high chance you don’t need it, because the screw will push against it
The other one is a cassette spacer
The circular thing looks like a cassette spacer. On some wheels you need to fit them between the hub and the cassette. I guess this one was just a spare. Other thing, I don’t know.
Looks like a cassette spacer on the bottom. The piece of plastic in the top is a little toy to play with when you can’t ride.
The ring is a 1.85 mm spacer used to install a 8/9/10 speed cassette on HG freehub that normally takes 11/12 speed cassettes.
The little plate is supposed to be glued down where the support bolt of the front derailleur hits the frame.
At the top is a support plate for a Shimano front derailleur. It should have a self adhesive pad on the back as it’s designed to be stuck to the frame, behind the derailleur. There’s a small bolt inside the derailleur that you use to adjust the angle of the cage (and brace the derailleur) once installed. This plate protects the frame and gives that bolt a flat surface to ‘bite’ against.
Then you have a cassette spacer. This goes onto a Shimano HG pattern freehub body before you install a 11-34 or 11-36 cassette.
