Johnny's iconic items bug?

+
Are those required for a quest at some point in the game? Or why are they flagged as quest items? They clutter my inventory and I can't transfer them to my stash nor dismantle them.
I made the mistake to upgrade them and now I have each of them three times (each rarity) in my inventory. Wouldn't it be enough to only make the basic version a quest item and let players dismantle the upgrade ones?
