Would those be voorwerps at the top and bottom of the nebula? Or is it just part of it?

Hi. This is Robin’s Egg Nebula - a planetary nebula. The green part of the nebula - this is probably matter that has been ejected from the original star before its final collapse - evidence that the star has blown out its polar caps.
There is another similar object associated with another planetary nebula in the survey:
