A few points of clarification...

Yes, but in only one insert toolbar --
sw/uiconfig/swreport/toolbar/insertbar.xml (among several), but could not find
out where it is actually used. (A "report" from Base uses
sw/uiconfig/sglobal/toolbar/insertbar.xml )

> However, the very same command is labelled "OLE Object" at the toolbar. 
> No idea why.
To explain why:

When you write "labelled", I think (hope) you mean the appearance of the icon
on the toolbar (and not the tooltip, which is "Insert Object").  Right?

The icon appearance can be explained quite simply.
Both .uno:InsertObjCtrl (Insert Object) and .uno:InsertObject (OLE Object) have
been assigned to same icon -- possibly as a confusion, when the label for the
first is identical to the .uno name of the second.

I think .uno:ObjectMenu is already hidden.  I could not find it in Customize.

The motivation for the OP was primarily to improve the usability of the
Customize dialog.

Miklos in comment 6 introduces the important possibility that
.uno:InsertObjCtrl and .uno:ObjectMenue could be part of the  win32 API --
which could explain why they appear in
officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/Controller.xcu

Conclusions:
Instead of attempting to remove them from appearing in the Customize menu,
modify the labels of .uno:InsertObjCtrl  and .uno:InsertObject so that they are
better differentiated, and easier to see what they are likely to be used for.

This might come close enough to resolving (or at least improving) this issue.
