Depends on how you define "inside the Temple".
See the low white "fence" just outside the walls around the Inner Temple? That's where the signs were hung.

Yup,
The Three Gates...
Some call them;
The Way
The Truth
The Life.

I figured they were from around the sanctum sanctorum: probably reused as fill by the Romans after the Temple was destroyed.
I just meant the religious items inside like the menorah. Procopius states the menorah was taken to Carthage by the Vandals and then to Constantinople by Belisarius (maybe carried in his triumph, the last I think that ever took place). After that I think there's no record. Justinian certainly would have had need to melt it down.
