A question about the Shredder artifacts from Lost Season

In Lap of the gods when Splinter and the ancient one show up, the Ninja Tribunal informs the turtles that two artifacts were stolen from them. I think this is in the third act early on. The guys seem to take this in without question. But later on, we learn that the artifacts were separated for specific reasons. Is this a plot hole, or was the Tribunal telling the green team a lie so as not to reveal this great evil until a more appropriate time? In Demons and Dragons, Raph even reiterates the fact that the first two items were stolen from the Tribunal. Did I miss something?
I was thinking that the tribunal fibbed a bit so as not to reveal too much information about their origins and their connection with said great evil in LOTG. Or could these two artifacts have been stolen some time before the guys arrived in Japan? I've already seen all the eps and tried looking up info on the Net concerning all this but so far it has proven to be a bust. Any info concerning the disposition of these artifacts would be very much appreciated. I'm totally blind so I probably missed a few visual tidbits. Dialogue is great but there are times when it just isn't enough to satisfy my curiosity.
