Sounds about right, but what did they eat to get that big? Most is not all beetles go through a larva stage. Unless they ate any fungus growing in there. Is there any openings in the lens for them to squeeze in?

You should put it on Ebay with the same pics as "in perfect condition" and "without fungus", with the notice that a few animal are living in the lens but that it doesn't influence the IQ

This was in my Super Paragon 135 that I use a lot. He was in there when I bought it and was a great bargaining point as I haggled with the guy who grudgingly conceded that a dead fly shouldn't really be inside a lens. But the fly always fell to the bottom when I used it and never got in the way. I did remove him in the end though.

I'm thinking they may have gotten in through the opening for the aperture lever on the lens mount. There's really no other opening in the lens that's big enough. The egg thing is really unlikely given the lack of food.
