Would you know if the parts had been changed if they didn't, or would you trust them to have bothered to have changed the parts they have charged you for?
The 'motor trade' is dogged with mis-trust and bad publicity, mechanics sometimes return 'old' parts to be clear to customer what has been changed (and why).
If parts are unwanted because you supplied them and they were not needed, be aware that parts do get 'dirty' when fitted. You should be grateful it's not you that has to fit them most of the time!
Also, there is a new issue these days regarding the environmentally friendly disposal of some items, that cost the mechanic lots and the public nothing; if you dispose of your own parts you pay nothing for disposal.

normally when there is a surcharge on them, or if the parts place has tried to shaft you with a 2nd hand part.
