Can anyone help me identify these parts from a '63 Beetle Sedan? I believe they are from the interior as I had them stored in a bin with all interior pieces.

No...much too small for that.
I'd guess that these fell out of the seat springs.
Or, they could be some non-VW things that somehow found their way into your parts bin.

They remind me of extractor springs for an old rifle.

They remind of the old pep boys registration sleeve things that old timers used to strap around the steering column. Those look like the part the springs grab on to.

Any chance that these are part of the turn signal control? I've dealt with these clips about 40 years ago, but my memory is a little foggy.
