I wonder whether the 'peat' contains pine chips. The plants
look like
pine seedlings:

Does a crushed leaf smell resinous?

Aha!!! Thanks a million!!
The picture in the link looks just like the plants I have
growing.
So "Pinus" or "Cedrus" it is then. I don't think that
anything like that is growing close by, though there may of
course be isolated specimens near by.
Of course that scenario would require a method to transport
just two seeds to two pots and nowhere else in my garden.
As I said in my original post, I think the seeds were in the
compost
