script-fu: exporting the same region for different layers

Intro
Gimp offers the ability to run scripts and by that create, manipulate and save images automatically. The language used normally is script-fu, though one could also use perl or (more commonly) python.
In my current project, I have to take pictures of different samples which are partly manipulated (using surface processing). In those pictures I’m mostly interested in three regions:
- the reflection of light on an untreated surface,
- the reflection of light on a treated surface,
- the histogram of the image.
A sample image that i took looks like this:
The regions I’m interested in are as follows:
I took about 30 pictures (with more to come) and i needed an automated method to copy those regions and save them as new images with an appropriate filename.
