Mir debris?

Last week there was a post from someone noting seeing some objects following
Mir by 1-2 minutes. I see now OIG has issued 7 new Norad numbers (23689
through 23695 for Mir related objects. They presently follow Mir at a range
of 1000-2500 km. Has anyone heard what these objects may be and are they
related to the recent Mir EVA? I've browsed several satellite related www
sources on Bart's web page, including a couple that are Mir related, but
there is no mention of debris or released experiments from Mir. I read some
time ago that Mir crews would minimize the release of debris.
