I don't think there are any HJ parts I wouldn't recognize and I definitely do not recognize these. Anyone else know what they are?

It's hard to tell without some size reference (like a ruler or tape measure in the picture). But they look sort of like lowering blocks that go between the rear axle and spring, to lower the rear of a car. Again however, since it's hard to determine size that is just a guess.  :)

Well Chris, despite the fact that I didn't recognize the first parts you posted, I looked in my HJ parts book and did not see them shown/listed.  This afternoon I went out and looked at both of my Js and I think the parts could be a spacer/shim/buffer between the rear spring and rear end.  I don't know if this piece is separate or not -

The parts books (both the '51 section and the '52 - '53 supplement) do not show or list it. Does it look like it?

The part circled in the picture is part of the rear end housing.  It is welded on and doesn't come off.   The two things in the first picture are aftermarket lowering blocks.  They could fit a lot of cars.
