Those are either spacers or stiffeners that go between the springplate and
the body mount (spring perch) behind the seats. They are on the rubber
bumper cars but not the earlier ones. Possibly to get the legal bumper
height to pass the federal law... The only other thing that would make any
sense would be for them to leave a path for drainage to reduce the rust
around the spring perches. They probably only fit one way.
