One of the patches definitely, but I don't know which one.

The restoration pack description is that "This file will restore a
collection of spells, items etc. that, for one reason or another, did
not make it into the final version of Planescape: Torment." and the
items you describe sound like beta-testing stuff which would've been
removed in the final game.

On the other hand Platter has made a lot of patches for PS:T, one of
which is "This is a book that you can 'talk' to. It has several
options, like changing your character's stats, alignment, class,
money, experience, health status, location and available party
members. It can give you many useful items including some items that
were not included in the game, and all of the game's spell scrolls
from levels 5-9."

FWIW, I only installed the official v1.1 patch and this one:
http://www.planescape-torment.org/
and didn't have the objects you mention.
