So what is this thing which caused all this damage?Any idea what it used to be?
I believe that what is in the cylinder, is the mangled remains of one of these, two of which were missing.
The mangled remains are definitely a nut, most likely an M6 flange nut. I suspect it was dropped in to the boost pipe, which was probably removed from the manifold, so access to the oil filter was better.
There's a trap for young players, if a nut or bolt goes missing, make sure it's found, before starting the engine.
