...I'd bet it's a 4cyl car and that's all the plugs...

Look closely at the tips of the plugs in particular the first plug from the left.

My final guess is: the car that those plugs came out of needs new piston rings in the cylinder that the left most plug came out of. I'm not great with mechanic stuff...but that's my best guess.
I lied...this will be my last guess...after looking at some other stuff, I think this car is running rich in that cylinder. So maybe it needs the stock BOV put back on.
