The Vela supernova remnant (SNR) displays remarkable features which appear to be ejecta "shrapnel" visible beyond the main shell. One of these shrapnel (A) is distinct from the others in that its X-ray spectrum exhibits a high Si abundance, while the other shrapnel which have been observed exhibit enhanced O, Ne, and Mg abundances. Two unexplored ejecta shrapnel (G and H) are located on the opposite side of the remnant from fragment A, suggesting that the SN explosion may have resulted in a jet-counterjet Si-rich structure, reminiscent of Cas A. We propose to observe these shrapnel for the first time to determine if they are also Si-rich like shrapnel A. We argue that, if this is the case, the Vela
