Two of these Teardrop Shaped Pieces were in the box that contained my repro tailgate for the '41 1/2 ton. Anyone got any idea what they are for?

I must admit that the tailgate was listed as a 49 1/2" Wide, no Script ,teardrop Tube, but I still have no idea as to what these two pieces are for.

I'm also posting in the Paint and Bodyshop forum just in case.

Thanks
