From Chinese source, they appear to be 4 retro rocket fairing tops (反推火箭整流罩封头) with a size of 21 x 20 cm. The retro rockets are attached to the second stage and are used for payload separation.
These 4 additional objects have already appeared with various CZ-2C-III launches; they should be identified as CZ-2C DEB rather than S/C DEB (as was rightly done for SJ-11-01 or YG-6).
Has now been corrected :)

Oops! But as someone just pointed out to me the Xinhua article says 12:28 *am* which is not 0428 UTC on Jul 6  but 1628 UTC on Jul 5

Ah, but as I just pointed out to myself, the launch video clearly shows it's daylight during the launch. So the Xinhua piece is in error, I assume.

The launch time was of course July 6, 12:28 Beijing time = 04:28 UTC. The launch was announced at 13:04 Beijing time and timestamped 13:07 at the Chinese forum message #57 at http://www.9ifly.cn/thread-6373-3-11.html .
This message reflects my personal opinion based on open sources of information.
